...Thank you for telling me. there was something on my mind during that... so I ended up saying something obvious. I'm sorry.
[ Their voice is quiet, but full of sympathy. They rub their eyes, since they were starting to water at hearing Malice talk about Cody and the rebels. It's the home part that gets them. They had to close their eyes at the part after. ]
You'll live with that guilt and betrayal... But it makes you a better Malice in the present. That's the one I have with me right now.
[ It feels a bit silly and selfish to say that. But Malice knows how he feels and has for probably a long time. There's no need for comforting him about that. ]
