[Since the recent Battler thing, Yugi had really been pondering a good number of things, a few involving what he thought of certain things that had happened, what someone might have been thinking and overall just trying to make sense of it all. For the most part he really wasn't sure about a lot of things. But after having looked at the newspaper and seeing that bounty he knew of a few things, but choose to do it via text since he really didn't want to show his face right now.]

I've been thinking a lot lately with Battler having appeared on the feed and just... Finding out that a friend, someone I cared about stabbed a lot of people in the back and honestly, it hurt. But yet, at the same time... Knowing what I knew about them I understood why she might have.

It doesn't mean I actually condone what she did, more so by keeping it a secret that was the wrong thing to do. But... I understand she might have done it in order to protect people.

But this whole situation has me thinking about a lot and wondering if maybe I'm too naive and still being naive even now. I like to see the best in people, I am a very forgiving person, but this whole thing has started to make me wonder if that's a bad thing?

If you truly think she was trying to protect people, then you really are naive.

That was never her right. She was only protecting herself and that monster.

Being forgiving doesn't mean you have to forgive everyone. Not everyone deserves it. Especially if they don't show remorse.

You don't "protect" people by leaving them in the dark and in constant fear that what happened to them could happen again. I get that you're trying to be understanding or something but save yourself some heartache and just don't. There's no point.

Wonder no more: you're naive.

"Seeing the best in people" is one of those feelgood phrases that makes the opposite of its intention. It basically means lying to yourself and only seeing whatever gives you warm fuzzies. I mean, what if people did that for Battler? "Well yeah he is a psychopathic sadist serial killer, but such a snappy dresser!"

It's pretty fucked up. Maybe if more people saw the bad in others, it never would've happened. Thanks, optimists!

I know Terra lacks common sense and understanding of a lot of things, so how exactly would you be able to know that was her intention?

For all you know it could have been simply because Battler needed cover and convinced her that is was for everyone's best interests and she believed him. We might never know the full story, but jumping to conclusions or assuming is never really the smartest idea either.

It's like saying because I know someone who was evil that I am trying to stop from doing evil things means that I'm evil myself. Being evil by association rather than actually knowing if they are or not.

Oh, I don't forgive everyone. I actually have two people I know or knew that I could never forgive in a million years.

I am aware of that as well... But when I have spent time explaining a lot to Terra over time, it made me wonder if she understood that what she was doing was actually not right. Not going to linger over it and even if I did or not it would still hurt considering.

Makes me wonder if I need professional help or not, though.

And yet more often than not I was actually right, so not sure what that says about what you just said.

Also that last part makes little to no sense. If that was a thing no one would talk to anyone and fights would actually happen every five minutes. So it's also pretty stupid.

Oh my god

Stop defending her. I'm sorry if you think she's hot, but this is just insulting. You know what's not smart? Siding with a mass murderer.

I don't give a shit if Terra lacks common sense because guess what, I lacked common sense and I never willingly helped out a monster like she did.

She's dangerous, and she belongs in prison. Or dead. Whatever.

Can you please stop assuming things, it's actually extremely rude. Though that's probably why you might not actually understand someone who actually knew her.

There's a difference between people who didn't know her at all and how they react and people who did. I'm not defending, I am trying to understand and come to terms with it so I can move on. What she did wasn't right, but I knew her well enough to think of other reasons as my way to cope and deal with it because guess what, I don't want to linger on the Battler situation anymore.

I want to move forward and past it, unlike you who seems to want to linger on it and just hate everyone simply because they knew someone who knew the guy. Sure it will never go away and I have a permanent reminder but by being angry and well the way you are currently is in a way letting him win. I don't want that.

So argue with me all you want, be angry all you want, but I'm getting the help and I am taking the steps of dealing with betrayal and finally moving past it. If you think that I'm just defending her, you can think that. But remember I knew her so this whole situation hurts someone like me a hell of a lot more than it hurt you.

[Yeah, no. Jaune is livid. How dare someone who was merely tortured claim that his pain is more valid and outweighs his own. Jaune wouldn't have compared them himself. It's not in his place to. It's wrong.

But since Yugi brought it up, he doesn't care about being wrong.]

I watched the video.

After I died.

You obviously seem to know everything about how people deserve to feel and the amount of anger and pain they're allowed to say they have, so why don't you answer this:

Was a broken leg worse than death? Was it worse than knowing your friends were dying and being tortured?

I mean, you are the expert. I don't care if you can move forward. I don't give a crap if Terra hurt you because I don't have the patience to feel sorry for an idiot who's trying to apologize for the actions of someone who sided with a mass murderer. My friends were hurt, and unlike Terra, they would never betray me like that. I care about them. Not your holier-than-thou, self-righteous attitude. Don't you dare criticize how I feel when you're too scared to face the truth.

I think we're done here.

I'm sorry that I'm stating an opinion about the difference between being betrayed and being betrayed by a friend, I actually wasn't at all talking about what happened with Battler. But I guess I did come across in a bad light there and I should apologize if something was said in the wrong way, that was my fault.

But as I said, you can be angry, but nothing will change if you just stay angry and bitter. I'm not being holier than thou or whatever you want to think, I just take it from experience to use what happened and become a stronger person from it instead of letting it get to me.

But sorry that my opinion is not one you want people to have, but want everyone to have your opinion.

But we are done. But I am at least glad you do have friends who would never stab you in the back no matter what.

She asked enough questions that she should have known. You're not the only one who tried to help her understand things.

Professional help? For what? Trusting a friend to not stab you in the back?

Not that really, more for the repercussion that might happen. I would rather not feel the way I did when that all happened. Not being able to sleep, having nightmares and just wondering if and when someone might actually do something.

If you want to be patronized be my guest, but we both could have avoided this if we had been a little more discerning in who we trusted.

Well being patronized wouldn't be the first time anyway, but it could have been avoided, but... honestly no one can really know when something is going to happen in the future. So all we have to discern is gut feeling and what people show others.
