41st Devotion: Contemplating the Past

[Filtered away from Saya]

Is there such a thing as redemption for the past? Can a person ever progress beyond what life has handed them? Or are they forever stained beyond any hope of forgiveness of their circumstances...

An idle thought, but one which I would be interested in hearing others opinions about...

Mr. Fujimiya, I'd like to order a bouquet of Red Tulips to be sent to the following address.

Oh, for God's sake, don't be so melodramatic, Goldsmith. If you want to choose another lifestyle and change the choices you have already made, go do it, there is no point to ask other people's opinions for validation of what you must do. This reeks to self-pity.

I hardly think I'm being melodramatic, Sir Hellsing. Did I ever say I was referring to myself when I posed this 'philosophical' question? Perhaps you are remembering my momentary 'weakness' of the last curse too strongly...

What more can I do that I haven't already done? The things I've sacrificed...

In my experience, most of these "philosophical" questions that claim no attachment to a personal situation often does. You are either struggling for forgiveness or to forgive, regardless if that's truth or not my statement stands. Looking for external niceties is seldom a way for atonement.

"Most", or all, Sir Hellsing? Believe as you wish... I do appreciate your input, despite your somewhat accurate doubts.

Are you and yours doing well, I hope?

I don't complain.
