I think more my stupidity is in thinking like knows like and that maybe, just maybe, you didn't realize how bad it was, or that you have choices to make here.
Because, see, I was the bully too. I was mean and I was spiteful out of fear. I hurt people I loved. Then one day, I pushed too far and someone I loved showed me how horrible I was being and I made a choice.
One you have before you now, Nina. You know what you want to be, and how to make your life easier instead of doing the hard things. Because being kind and compassionate is so much harder than being like this.
[ He sighs, shaking his head as he pushes back from the table, standing up slowly to make it clear he means he no harm. Even if he could move in less than the blink of an eye and have her pinned to the wall. But that isn't the man he is, no matter what he's been turned into. ]
So the pity party here about poor you the bad guy who can't help it? Is a game, a façade even. Because I wore the same mask once and I threw it in the fire. If you didn't want to be all those things you've been called in the past, you would change it here where very few people know who you were, but that's your call to make.
My call? Is to try and protect those you would harm. Whether you think they deserve it or not. I've done it with everything from the Creator to killers to bullies. Maybe one day you'll decide to grow up and learn to be a better person. I really hope you do. You deserve to know the person you can be.
