And it's alright. To wish things were different. Easier. But then, it's hard to say if you'd be the same person without those experiences too. What happened, happened, and for a reason.

I don't know what else to tell you though. Athena's been a wreck without you, I've done what I can but she's a mess. [And kind of pathetic, but that's just Rei's sexism talking.]

Why'd you come to me first? Just to ask that question?
