<Locked from Edgeworth, post-murder>This comes a little late, but I wanted to thank everyone for their concern over what happened
last Wednesday. Especially everyone who came out to that area to stop the destruction, and to get all the people still there away. All you who came for me, specifically... I'm very grateful. (And I'm
fine, I promise. It was a little more draining than I was expecting, is all.)
I know that some people might be a little upset with me for going out like that, when everything was so dangerous. People were getting hurt, people older and stronger and better than me, but I still ran straight into trouble without even telling anyone what I was doing. It was stupid, and I know I could have been hurt, or killed, and that I'm lucky that I wasn't. Where I'm from, I'm supposed to be a hero, too, even though I'm still just a kid — and I get sick easily. We didn't fight with the same kinds of weapons at home, but the world is still in danger, and I'm still supposed to help save it. Until just a few days ago, no one
good from my home was here, and even with as many people I've met and befriended here, I still felt obligated to help, but like... because the person who has always protected me wasn't here, I couldn't let anybody else do the same.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry that I keep putting myself in danger and needing rescue but not ever asking for help in the first place, for not trusting anyone enough to
ask for help when
I was the one in trouble. I'm sorry that I keep worrying and scaring you when it didn't have to be that way. I'm... I'm sorry that I never let myself depend on you, when you offered it so many times.
That day, I saw things I wish I could forget. I don't think I ever will. But, because I was there to see that... there are six people who can wake up every morning now, who can live another day in this world that — well, it's not my world, or any of yours, but it's
theirs, and even with everything crazy and weird it's still a world worth saving, worth... worth living for. If I hadn't been there, they might have survived... but it's more likely that they wouldn't have.
Ahh... what I'm trying to say is... I can't promise that I won't do anything like this again, because I
can save people, and I know I can, and I can't just
not do anything just because I'm scared or little or weak in other ways. If it means I can give someone a whole future full of sunshine, even if it's just one person... I'll do everything I can. Even... even if it means getting hurt. Even if it means
that.
So I can't say I won't put myself in danger anymore, but... but next time, I won't go alone. Because I don't have to, anymore. I'm sorry it's taken me so long to realize it. And... thank you.
Oh. Right. I'm staying with, ah, one of the other people on this board right now, and I'm safe. Sorry if I made anyone I know at the MAC worry for not going back.
