I'm... Really Sorry, Gina.

I'm... really sorry, Gina.

Trust me, I'm looking in the mirror, and I don't like what I'm seeing.

What are your apprentice's best traits? What are you most proud of her for?

For staying, even when it's hard. For standing up for her friends; for standing up for herself. For learning how to trust; for knowing when to distrust. For managing to build herself a happy life despite everything that's been working against her. For being able to get through even the toughest of times, and come out stronger the other end.

I'm not sure it's fair to call her my apprentice. Really, it was more like the opposite.

Thanks for the follow, Silvano. It sounds as though you’re doing somewhat better, and I am glad to hear it. While you are getting back on your feet, if you need a favour, just ask. I owe you two at the very least, and regardless, I am happy to run errands and the like if there is anything I can do to help.

...Hi, Asogi. Glad to hear from you again.

To be clear, you don't have to feel like you owe me anything. I appreciate the offer, though. I can't really go anywhere right now - at least, not without S - and that rules out some activities I might otherwise have chosen to spend my time on.

...There is something you could do, actually, if you really wanted to help. Would it be all right if I sent you a message?
