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

How is everyone doing...

[stripping.livejournal.com]

Most of the monks have only minor injuries. My father nad brother are in the hospital, so I'm acting head of the temple.

I promise. This wwill not happen again.

[morethanabot.livejournal.com]

That better news then I expected.

Good!

And how are you holding up?

[Voice forever, btw.]

[stripping.livejournal.com]

N...not all that well, I'm afraid.

[Same]

[morethanabot.livejournal.com]

Mmm. I...

Well this isn't your fault.

[stripping.livejournal.com]

I should have been stronger. I should have been able to do something.

[morethanabot.livejournal.com]

No it's not.

And if you feel that way still, all you need to do is, after all the aplogies are done and over with, train yourself a bit to try and repel them.

[stripping.livejournal.com]

I can do that. I must do that.

[morethanabot.livejournal.com]

Don't over do it.

[stripping.livejournal.com]

I can't overdo it. I have to do something in penance.

[morethanabot.livejournal.com]

Actually you can.

If you endanger your health in any way by forgoing sleep, food, relaxation and so forth it counts as overdoing it.

[stripping.livejournal.com]

Fine, fine. I'll still sleep.

[morethanabot.livejournal.com]

Well that's better at least.

Don't worry everything will be fine.

[stripping.livejournal.com]

If you say so, I suppose it must be true.

[morethanabot.livejournal.com]

And what do you say?

[stripping.livejournal.com]

...it's true?

[morethanabot.livejournal.com]

What's true?

[stripping.livejournal.com]

What you said.

[morethanabot.livejournal.com]

And why is it true?

[stripping.livejournal.com]

Because I have friends who take care of things?
