[Issei is shaking with the force of his sobs. He's obviously been crying for a while.

Eventually, the sobs slow down enough for him to get some words out in between them.]

That wasn't me. The person who hospitalized my father and brother, who drove the other monks to attack each other, who spoke to you all so cruelly - that wasn't me. I could never do such a thing to my family!

Why, wh-why did this happen? What did I possibly do to deserve anyone's ire enough for them to do this? Why did I fail my family and let this happen?! I should have resisted, I should have...

Father... R-Reikan-nii...

[And he bursts into a fresh wave of tears.]

I-Issei-kun?... Issei?

Yes, it's me. H-Haruto, I'm so sorry that a thing like this occurred...

[president-omg.livejournal.com]

Issei. I-it'll be okay. Do you need me to come over? I will, you know I will.

[pandorabox]

... Damn it, why the hell does this keep happening--?

Oi, Issei.

K-Kuroba. I'm sorry for what he said to you, I'm sorry...!

[pandorabox]

You said it yourself. It wasn't you. Someone was possessing you again.

AND HERE IS ONE THAT'S ON TIME.

Issei-san...

If healing is necessary, I can help.

[stripping.livejournal.com]

The hospital should take care of it. I have faith in them, I do.

[phoenix-temple.livejournal.com]

You mustn't blame yourself.

We weren't fooled, you know.

[Voice forever]

[stripping.livejournal.com]

That's good. Although I will have a lot of explaining to do to those I had not met before...

[gonnabe1st.livejournal.com]

Maybe so, but I think the people commenting were your friends for the most part.

I promise, I promise it wasn't me!

I believe you. Stop letting things and people take control of you...

How is everyone doing...

[battlememo.livejournal.com]

... so that wasn't you?

[There's a sigh of relief there]

...m'glad. That didn't make any sense -

How're they doing, by the way?

Most of the monks are more-or-less fine. Two, my father and brother, are in the hospital, but they should recover with treatment.

I don't believe we've met? It's bad circumstances to meet in, but at least you believe me when I say that I would never do such a thing.

Issei...

I'm just glad you're alright.

[all replies voice]

[stripping.livejournal.com]

Physically, yes. Emotionally, no.

Issei-san...

[stripping.livejournal.com]

K-Karen. I'm so sorry...

[Voice forever]

[truthinfortune.livejournal.com]

I knew that wasn't you from the start, Issei-kun... What's important is that no one lost their lives during this ordeal. I'm certain Akako-san will be able to brew enough potions to heal everyone.

[stripping.livejournal.com]

It was so close... Someone could have died, and I couldn't have done anything...
