I’m glad you’ve realized your mistakes, Runiel. Why were you so overbearing and controlling in the first place, and how did you realize you were wrong?

* { i think a lot of it that i was scared. and…. actively trying to push people away, i guess? }

* { i didn’t like being awake. i didn’t like being aware of things again, but i figured that if i had to stay awake, i could at least try to actively go after the big threats in the void. }

* { and maybe that if i was too aggressive about it, maybe i’d be forced back into being dormant. or. something. i don’t know. i wasn’t happy back then and it’s still hard for me to not want to go back to not being actively around. }
