Part 587: Lon'qu B

Lon'qu?

You again. Begone!

We have to talk. There's more to the story of Ke'ri and her parents.

Even so, I have no wish to hear it. If there is any mercy in your heart, you will leave the matter be.

You will want to hear this.

I think not!

Her parents did not hate you, Lon'qu. They were grateful to you. It's true that when Ke'ri was killed, they blamed you for her death. But then they learned how desperately you tried to save her. And when you vanished from the slum, they knew it was their fault.

......

Soon after Ke'ri died, they found her diary. They discovered what a good friend you had been to her.

......

Your friendship made her happy, and that, in turn, made them happy.

So they don't hate you. Not anymore. And I know they would want you to know that.

......

Thank you for delivering the message.

It's my pleasure.

It is... good to be forgiven.

And yet, I doubt this wound can ever truly heal. (leaves)

*Sigh*
