[The feed opens to the view of Olivine beach, held by its owner as she records the horizon and ocean for a while. It records silence for a few moments before the owner speaks up, sounding hesitant.]

... if you've done something wrong in the past that hurt a lot of people, and every one of them said that it was alright and that they didn't blame you...

... but... you still feel guilty over it...

... how do you go about forgiving yourself?

[There's more silence and then an audible sigh, before there's an elephant trumpet sound, and Namine giggles as a Phanpy clambers and obscures half the view of the camera.]

No, this isn't for playing. Come on.

[The feed cuts off.]

Yeah well...

[Tomo suddenly realises that someone who does not know her may not completely appreciate how this works. But she's too far into this advice giving to stop now!!!]

It's not your fault if they react the totally wrong way to something you did right? I mean... If you tell someone it's their fault that they knocked over a tent that you knocked over too, and they cry instead of yelling at you thentheyjust.

Right?

... but what I did isn't as simple as that. It's more complicated, and it hurt peple in the wirst way possible.

... and I rather not do it again.

No, no! I-I didn't!

I just... I just did something that caused a lot of trouble and hurt a lot of people in the long run.

Well then... Things happen you know, if they're hurt by it then it's their own dumb faults.

[She grins]

Regrets are stupid
