You were stabbed [There is only one conclusion he can draw from that, and he doesn't like it.]

[oathshackledbird]

[Unconsciously, Diarmuid's hand flexes over his heart.]

You...could say that.

[Stabbed. Forced to stab himself. It's all the same, right?]

[swordofzero]

[Suzaku stepped closer, reaching out to Diarmuid's shoulder, though it was strange to reach up and not down] I'm sorry.

[oathshackledbird]

Thank you, but please, don't worry. There is nothing that can be done for it now and so lingering on it is just a waste of energy.

[Diarmuid looks back at Suzaku and smiles slightly.]

That kind of world would force me to linger on it instead of moving on. I have to say, I am glad I am not there.

[swordofzero]

You are wise. [Suzaku dropped his hand] I am glad you did not have to be there either.

[oathshackledbird]

[Diarmuid shakes his head.]

I just speak the truth. I am far from wise. I still have too much to learn. Maybe someday, but not today.

[swordofzero]

[Suzaku nodded] The other me is lucky to have you around.

[oathshackledbird]

I think you have that backward. I am the one who is lucky to have him. He has done much for me. Forgiven much too...

[swordofzero]

I am sure you have forgiven much too. [After all if he claimed him as a friend, if he knew anything about Suzaku then he was a very forgiving person]

[oathshackledbird]

I have, but I'm not the one who needs to forgive him.

[Diarmuid gives Suzaku a pointed look.]

He is the one who needs to forgive himself.

[swordofzero]

He's done unforgivable things.

[oathshackledbird]

Perhaps, but he also recognizes that and is working as hard as he can to make up for it. That makes him a lot different from those who do such things and never realize what they have done or try to fix it.

[swordofzero]

I guess, but I doubt he will be able to make up for it, he has done things that are impossible to fix.

[oathshackledbird]

You two really are the same.

[Diarmuid shakes his head.]

It is true. There are some things that cannot be fixed, but that doesn't mean that the person responsible can't work to make up for what they did. As long as they keep trying--even if their attempts go astray--then, someday, forgiveness will be found.

[swordofzero]

I would suppose we would be. [He blinked at the words, not sure what to say to them] You are very optimistic.

[oathshackledbird]

[Diarmuid laughs sadly.]

Not as optimistic as I used to be, but I do try to keep looking to the positive side of things. Someone needs to so that the rest don't lose their way...

It...is hard sometimes. Especially in the Tower.

[swordofzero]

I can imagine. It does not seem like the kind of place where positivity is easy.

[oathshackledbird]

It's not unless you count being positive that the Administrators will always do their best to hurt and abuse us and, somehow, I don't think you do.

[He shakes his head.]

That just makes it all the more amazing that hope and optimism can still survive there.

[swordofzero]

It does. I am glad there is still hope, despite everything. It makes me feel guilty about despairing, when I am nowhere as bad.

[oathshackledbird]

Don't be guilty. No matter how terrible or how wonderful the place we are is, that doesn't change the fact that we have been pulled away from the life we were living before leaving things unfinished. It is only natural for most people to want to return to that as soon as they can.

[swordofzero]

"That's true. There was a lot I had to finish at home."

[oathshackledbird]

He feels the same way, so I understand even if I don't feel the same way. My circumstances are different.

[Diarmuid looks around the area they are standing it.]

I wonder what this place is that it was able to pull us from where we were like this. Do you think it will send us back at some point or will we have to find our own way back?

[Diarmuid might not have anything left for him on his world, but he certainly has things waiting for him back at the Tower.]

[swordofzero]

I don't know [He looked around] We should go and find out, see if there is anyone who can give us answers.

[oathshackledbird]

[Diarmuid nods.]

If nothing else, explore a little. Together, though. I don't know if it is a good idea to do so alone. There is too much we don't know about this place.

[swordofzero]

Yes, splitting up would be a bad idea. [He looks around] Let's go and find out where we are. [Or at least get some clues.]
