if you do something bad -- like really bad, like unforgivable -- in your life before here

are you allowed to not tell anyone about it? or try to be better here? are you allowed to start over entirely?

is that bad too?

because i couldn't control what i was doing. there was a...thing in my head. making me do stuff.

Then it isn't your fault, any more than a war is the fault of the horse ridden into battle.

But even if it isn't your fault you have responsibility if you are dangerous. Is the thing in your head still?

[deadboywalking]

i guess that makes sense. i didn't think of it that way, with me as the...horse.

i don't think so. i don't mind it warm anymore, and i can't see the now-memories anymore.

Remember that it makes sense. Because people will blame you anyway. You're small and a safer target to be angry at than whatever creature rode you.

Don't listen to them.

yeah. it's easy to get angry and yell or try and hurt things that are smaller than you. it sucks.

i'll try.
