Hi Ashe. It's Claude, I just... this phone can't be traced so I actually use it more than the other one. Not that text is the best way to do this but I at least know you'll get it this way. Even if you have the other one blocked. Which would be understandable.
I didn't know Bernadetta was going to confront you about... things. I would have told her not to if I had. That wasn't fair on either of us. But since she started this whether I was ready to deal with it or not... I
I owe you an apology. It feels disingenuous to apologize when I can't change the behavior that caused the hurt, though. Not... fully. Or maybe just... not yet. I didn't mean to be hurtful but I do understand why you were.
There's a lot of reasons, things that have kept me alive this long. Things that, if we do return to our worlds from this place, I still need to have in place if I intend to make it to the future Ferdinand recalls. Which only makes it that much harder to even try to change things. But I don't want to keep hurting people. You and Byleth are both right about that. It's not fair to you.
So... I hope you'll understand why this.... this isn't an apology. I can't give you that in good faith. Not right now. Not without putting in the effort to make things better. Even a little bit. I know that probably sounds like a cop out and I can do nothing to disprove that.
But I am trying. If you have it in you to be patient with me. Hopefully I'll be able to give you that apology sooner rather than later.
