What would you consider the most unforgivable thing that a person could do to you? Something that someone could do, that they could never take back?

If it has been done to you, what happened? How did you treat that person afterward, if you kept in contact with them? If you didn't, do you regret ever severing off from them?

Have you done anything unforgivable? How did people respond to that--did they let you get a word in edge-wise to explain, or did they abandon you? Did you have to find your own way afterwards? How did it go for you, if so?

Do you think there's anything that one can do to earn forgiveness, depending on the severity of what happened? Do they deserve it? Does it depend? And is there a certain point that someone's allowed to give up on trying to find it, and should just stop trying to be good?

I'm curious as to what everyone's answers will be. Please don't give anymore info than you're comfortable with; these are just things that have been on my mind, lately. And please don't be rude to each other.

[this seems. infinitely more like a stream of conscious than anything actually coherent, but there's at least an attempt at maintaining some modicum of privacy. have at. be it on main or giving yourself a nice plurk-style anon-name, go for it.]

...Yes, let's.

[Oh, this is...this is putting a lot of things into perspective now, isn't it? The way he reacted when they first got introduced into Nekiya comes to mind in particular, and somehow, Sayaka feels guilty.

Either way, when they find a place to sit down, Sayaka's eyes have softened quite a bit. She's still a bit of a mess, all things considered, worrying at her sleeves a bit, but she at least tries to smile.]

...I'm sorry that this seems to be such a common experience. Yours didn't happen to be run by someone named Monokuma too, right...?

[Just. Getting that out of the way now.]

[pointzeropercent]

Nobody with that name, but plenty of people with similarly punny names.

[God. Where does he even start?]

...they put us through games of life or death for their amusement, and then made us vote for people to die. Most of us are gone now, it's down to just eight, and they said they're making us continue until only one or two people remain alive. Just...who does that kind of thing?

[destage]

[Sayaka listens to him, her eyes softening and brows knitting as she does. She can't even begin to imagine what Sou's been through (hah), but she tries. She tries to imagine how badly this poor guy has just plain suffered, and it's...]

...When Monokuma gathered my group and answered some of our questions, he said that he wanted to watch us give into despair.

[Sayaka pauses a bit, and the gesture...it's awkward, but if allowed, Sayaka will try to place a supportive hand on Sou's shoulder.]

There weren't any games like with yours--I'm horrified on your behalf that people would torment you like that. It's awful what lengths these sorts are willing to go to in order to hurt us. [...] Monokuma was only nicer in the sense that he allowed us a few days, before actively starting to encourage us to murder others. By...taking hostages--at least I think.

[pointzeropercent]

[A few days...if only they had that luxury. In Sou's world, eight people had died on the first day.]

You 'think'? What happened?

[destage]

[...]

After those first few days, Monokuma gave us a box of DVD that he left in the AV room for us to find. We found them each labeled with our names and took them over to watch them.

[Very notably, if Sou is looking, he'll notice Sayaka start to fidget nervously. Worrying at her sleeves, and the like. It's a difficult subject but she attempts to press on.]

I...didn't ask the others what they had on them. I assumed it was something similar to mine. Monokuma made that video about the girls in my idol group, telling me about them the fact that...

That we were separated. That our group broke up, because I wasn't there anymore. That I had...no place to return to, and that the only way to find out what happened to them was...to graduate this school. By killing someone.

The video showed them knocked out on the stage, and it didn't...look like they were dead, but...it...

[And it's here that Sayaka clams up. Give her a second, Sou, this is. Difficult. But it's pretty clear that the 'think' is coming from the fact that she doesn't know if they're alive or not.]
