I wouldn't call it the main rule... Maybe it's just woven into the fabric of my character?
[Rin takes a few steps backward, until she feels her heels thunk against wood. Bracing her fingertips behind her, she lets her body fall back until she's leaning against the tree there, bark to shoulder.
She looks away from him slowly, and... There's a thin veil of nostalgia, tinted to her smile. Something bittersweet.]
I once had a talk like that with someone... I told him that I wanted to live a life without regrets, but due to certain things going on, I thought that might be hard to do. That's a given, right? But it was the first time I considered it.
He told me there are two people in this world: those who can do it, and those who can't. The former, he said, are people who don't make mistakes—more than that, even when they do slip up, they don't look back on their mistakes and see them as regrets; just situations to learn from. They can believe in their own path, without agonizing over what they've done.
According to him, I'm definitely that sort of person. [...Hm. She shrugs her shoulders, and tries not to think of the way that memory squeezes her heart.] He said I should stay that way.
