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.

[She's still a little visibly frayed around the edges, uncertain.]

I've always known you to do the right thing, Twi.

So it's not you so much that I'm angry with. It's the whole fool plan. All us farmponies and our friends worked ourselves to the bone for an emergency that was all a lie. My family thought we were doomed.

I thought you were doomed. And now I don't know what to do.

I can't blame you. You and all of the farm ponies worked your hardest to fight against a giant lie.

Any apology I give you wouldn't match the effort you and the others put in the past few days...so if you'll have me, I'll help you tend to the farm.

I mean...I guess it's good to know we'll be able to keep up if that happens for real down the line.

And you know you're always welcome here, sugarcube.

I'll even keep my magic out of it. Everything there's grown with only love and hard work, right?

I'd ask for magic if we needed it to keep everypony alive...but I think we're okay.

Thank you.

Alright.

I'll still help around the farm, if you need me.

No, no, I got it wrong! What I meant to say is I want you here.

It's always nice working with you.

I'll be right over, then.
