[Regret. Yu finds himself lingering over that word, spinning it around in his mind, picking it apart. That word has become such a driving factor in his life, hasn't it? He never once regretted any choice he made in Inaba, but before that? His tendency to push people away had become a deep regret, and he wonders sometimes how different his life might have been if he had not been so afraid of getting hurt.

Because now he's seen what it's like, that hurt, and while it sucks, it's...it's not nothing. And that's what he was before.

Scott was right before, and as hard as it is to admit it, Yu thinks he's right now, too. To regret doing something is always better than to regret doing nothing. He doesn't want to agree, but he can't lie, either.]

I would, too. [He sounds so sure of it. Maybe he is.] ... Things can't go back to how they were. Not after all this. But...there must be some way forward, from here.

[He has no idea what that path might look like, or whether he'll ever be friends with the other boy again. But there must be a way for them to live in peace, as long as they're here.]
