The boy is silent, so at least the stories are being remembered. He's not entirely sure if he should have told the kid about Chryseis now, but it's too late to change his mind. His earnest question that follows, lets him forget about hesitation - instead he thinks it over, then nods. "Yes, and no." A wry smile follows.

"I regret pushing her away in the first place. I regret inviting my friend to think I'd always catch her, and bringing her up to that high place. I don't regret correcting my mistakes, but I regret making them in the first place," he finally decides. He tilts his head at the dark bay before him, then shakes his head. It's better if this is the end of their meeting, he thinks. "Off you go. Make your own mistakes and learn to live with them. I hope they aren't as terrible as mine."

I just wanna be someone
well, doesn’t everyone?
