[The scrolls open to a smiling pegasus, with a red scarf around his neck and small white cuffs around all four of his legs. (Visual reference!) These scrolls were his way to communicate with the rest of the world, right?]

Hey! Nice to meet you all. My name's Tails, and I'm new here. [He's learned a bit about Equestria from a friend of his in the last place he found himself. He extends his wings, and then realizes he has them.] Huh. I have wings, so I guess that means I can still fly, too!

Though I do have one question... [He motions to his wrench that's lying on the ground.] How d'you hold heavier stuff with your hooves? I can't really fix or build things like this.

I think the more important thing to do... would be to accept that everyone made mistakes, and move on. Apologies aren't going to fix everything this time.

And even if it doesn't work out and you two can't be friends, you can at least be civil to one another, right?

It would be better to move on, but I doubt she will. She seems way too stubborn for that.

Considering how she usually acts, I don't think that will be anytime soon.

[He disappears from the scrolls for a while, and then comes back with a more relaxed expression on his face.]

I've talked to her. I can't really tell you everything, but... I think if she's given a little time, things will get better. She just went through the same thing you did, in the past. And our pasts aren't as different as I thought.

[He nods. She did tell him some of her past, but he didn't really listen.]

I'm fine with that, though I'm not gonna hold my breath for a real apology.

Even if she doesn't, do you think you could not berate her for acting like that? Even if you don't forget about it. She isn't sorry because she felt bad for the thing possessing you since she went through the same thing, and she did what she felt was right at the time, even if it wasn't. She still thinks she herself was a monster when it happened to her. It almost sounded like she did to you what she wished other people would've done to her back then.

Forgiving and apologizing seems like a difficult thing for her. You and I both know there's people from our homeworld who are just like that but aren't bad people because of it.

Alright fine. Just as long as she doesn't go spreading lies about me or anything like that.

[Oh he knows what his other him was talking about.]

Yeah that is true. Which is part of why I said I'm not holding my breath for one.
