19th E-Book: Truth Removes the Chains and Slaps on the Cuffs [Visual]

[magicalrealist]

I was in on Zetta's plan the whole time. I let myself be captured to play the role needed of me...and while I'm not proud of it, I still lied to all of you. I made you worry and I deceived you. I couldn't tell anyone, but that doesn't excuse what I did.

My word might not mean much, if anything, anymore, but...I'm sorry.

I think the apology was enough Twi.

How much more you think you need to make up?

[Private]

[magicalrealist]

I'm honestly not sure.

[Private]

[caneattheseapples]

Kind of think that's the point where you need to maybe pull back a little on apologizing, don't you think?

[Private]

[magicalrealist]

Maybe...but I don't at least one person I have a lot to make up for.

[Private]

[caneattheseapples]

Do what you have to, Twi.

[She'll leave it at that for the moment. She'll get back to your health when she gets the chance to later.]

...Did you go at her, when she showed up? I went. Pretty damn sure I saw you there too.

[Private]

[magicalrealist]

(She nods.)

I was upset at the time, but I still tried talking her down. It inevitably came to blows, though. Pollo and I stood off against her.

[Private]

[caneattheseapples]

I tried talking to her.

....I think it saved my life.

[Private]

[magicalrealist]

Did it involve friendship?

[Private]

[caneattheseapples]

Yeah. I told her I was going to help her.

And that he saw her message. And that she'd be okay.

[Private]

[magicalrealist]

Maybe it's because she doesn't understand friendship. She still believes it's useless and refuses to understand it, but maybe experiencing it with you is what saved you.

It's certainly better than my encounter with her. I told her she's really Princess Twilight Sparkle and she went berserk.

[Private]

[caneattheseapples]

Well.

I did kind of jump on that dumb bitch's back too. She kind of had to listen to me I guess.

...So we're all agreed on that, right? That it's a Twilight.

Sorry. I probably could've phrased that better.

[Private]

[magicalrealist]

No, it's fine. I've had time to let that revelation settle.

(Even though it still unsettles her.)

We are in agreement about that, though. It's why I want to handle this entire ordeal as delicately as possible.

[Private]

[caneattheseapples]

...I understand Twi. I know that doesn't sound like I could in any finching way.

But sometime when you can, I think we need to talk.

[Private]

[magicalrealist]

(Twilight nods.)

Of course. I just need some time to sort things out first. After that, we can talk until sunrise.
