[regret, fear, sadness... anger.]

I don't think I can forgive myself.

[mind_over_metal]

Forgiveness can be a very long process. That doesn't make it one not worth undertaking, by any means. The end, however, will not always be in sight.

But in the meanwhile, what is it that you plan to do?

[finalities]

If I could, I'd like to keep myself away from everyone I love.

But right now the only plan is to go back to the basics and figure out my powers again.

[mind_over_metal]

And I will do whatever I can to help. I fear, however, that that might be limited by our particular circumstances. What is your sense of the situation?

[finalities]

I'm a ticking time bomb. I'm not safe... even as I am now.

[mind_over_metal]

Do you think that contact with me will make it worse, though?

[finalities]

... I... don't know, Professor.

[mind_over_metal]

We'll use caution, then.

Just please know that I'm here for you, however I can be.

[closes her eyes, accepting him]

I know. And I'm grateful. I'm just... Part of me is mad at you. The you I grew up with. But you're not him. Not exactly.
