[ But ... I thought what if someone from Berkut's world were to come here. Berkut has not yet become a darkened individual. He's still someone who is changing a little. He may even stop fighting the protagonist, but that will still take some time to convince him of a peaceful resolution. He's also someone who is a good person ... but if someone from his world came, who was hurt by him, what would happen? ]
I'm sorry. [ I have to make a line in the sand. ] After all, what do you want? Do you want Arydn to be hated? Alone? Driven out of this city? Perhaps, tortured? Killed? What would make you and your friends happy?
I apologize. I cannot begin to understand the pain that you've gone through, and what suffering you have encountered, and what you've witnessed. But what would make you happy? To destroy what good could come his way? Would that make everything clean?
So, I don't want it. To create happy memories, to make others happy, that is what I wanted for her birthday because she wishes happiness for others. I could not be happy holding your camera and thinking about what I know. It's unfair because you are not there to enjoy yourself, either. It's unfair because of many things, and so... I cannot accept it.
It makes his heart sink, reading that. He feels selfish and childish and chastised for it, even though he doesn't think that's the guy's intent. It's just, he gets it, that wish to create happy memories, that need to make something to show someone exactly the light they are in the world. That's exactly what his camera is to him, the embodiment of that wish.
So it hurts, having it rejected. But Prompto also feels understood, in some way.]
ok. i mean, that's a bummer, but maybe we'll have a super smiling photo op some other time. （＾_＾）
um, for the record, i
[The rest of the sentence is a while in coming.]
i wouldn't be happy with any of those things, i think. the things you said about hurting him or driving him out, they just make me feel bad. not bad for HIM, really, just. bad.
[ He breathes a little sigh. But he has to hold the line, as it were. The whole situation is more than a little shitty, but what could make it better? Denouncing a villain and not standing against the protagonists, probably, but he wouldn't feel right about it. ]
That would be acceptable to me.
[ He holds out an olive branch. It'll be nice to do later. Yeah. ]
I'm happy to hear that those things would not make you happy. [ A relief, actually. ]
I understand. But he is here. Even if you feel nothing can be gained from talking, at least, be willing to talk for the sake of not having to worry about him. If a person comes to someone honestly and heartfelt, something can be understood.
I'll say again I'm not asking you to forgive or anything like that, but rather... wouldn't it be better to discuss a few things without fearing of looking over your shoulder? I have a feeling neither one of you want that.
