[It might have been a contemplative silence for Ion, but Ginji over here has been fidgeting ever since the words came tumbling out of his mouth. Normally he tries to be agreeable, after all what's the point in arguing against what other people want to believe? But there are times when he can't help but speak his mind. Listening to one of his friends talk about what might have happened in their absense is one of those times.]
[Fortunately Ion speaks up in time to spare Ginji from stubbing his fingers.]
That's good. And it's okay, Ion. No one can fault you for how you feel, but it's a bad idea to keep holding onto guilt about things you can't change. So try not to be so hard on yourself. I, for one, am pretty happy with the way things turned out. Otherwise we never would have met, right?
[He laughs weakly, the sound of someone letting out pent-up tension. He's still wondering if maybe he shouldn't have been a little more respectful somehow.] Besides, it's way too easy for a person to get caught up in their failures.
