029 - Rinoa - Video

[livelyangel.livejournal.com]

[Rinoa is back in her room in Garden. She's curled up on the bed, hugging her dog, Angelo. The pair are inseparable. Rinoa can't look at anyone else without the memories of everything she did getting in the way. But Angelo loves her. Even though she locked Angelo up and left her, a dog's love is unconditional and Rinoa is clinging to that right now.

She looks at the camera for several long moments. She knows that she has to apologise to everyone, but what can she say?]

...I'm sorry.

[And that's all Rinoa can manage for now. She leans forward and the feed switches off.]

It's a time I try to forget. Often.

But unlike him, I decided to stop. And if people could accept me after what I'd done... you'll be fine.

[She's really bad at this comfort thing, but... maybe this'll help.]

But the townspeople. You said they never forgave you...

I didn't exactly stick around once I became a Returner.

[ She sighs a little and searches for the right words. ] You have to decide which hurts worse: facing everyone and proving you've changed or hiding away and wallowing in your guilt. Every day I live that choice.

[She's silent at that. It hits a raw nerve.]

...Thank you.

[She nods, understanding.]

...You're welcome.
