[That doesn't sound like Soramaru. But something tells him he's not lying, and accusing him of lying seems really counter productive right now.] Look. You're my brother. And I know that whatever you do, you always do so with the best intentions. Not just because I taught you to, but because that's the kind of person you are. You're... you're just too kind. You're kind to a fault. You're crying about this right now because you're so kind... isn't that right? So how could I ever fault you for something like that? [See look he's smiling so that means it's okay now.]

--Because I've become a bad person. Don't have children, you're bad at raising kids, your turnout was awful--

[ his voice breaks. he doesn't know what to say here, resorting to insulting both tenka and himself instead. ]

... everyone makes mistakes. Everyone hurts someone else sometimes, and sometimes they can't even claim they did so with "the best intentions". No one is able to live without hurting someone else. I wish it weren't true... but it is.

But it doesn't make you a bad person. Bad people don't cry about their mistakes. They don't regret hurting others. They do it without even thinking because they only care about themselves.

[Jeez... he just reaches up and wraps his arms around Soramaru's head, pulling him down against his chest in an enveloping hug.]

I know it's hard not to hate yourself for it... but that's why I'm here, so I can remind you how much you deserve to be loved.

[Hmph] Even though you say I'm bad at raising kids... I think you turned out just fine! Great, even! You ungrateful brat!

[ailingsoul]

[ he's quiet for a long, long time - unable to react to that. ]

...Chuutarou turned out okay. --Because I helped.

[cloudysun]

... [smacks the top of your head]

See? The only problem with you is you're an ungrateful brat.

[ailingsoul]

--It's less problems than you have, in the end!!

[cloudysun]

[Hahaha!]

Well! ... that might be true!

[ailingsoul]

---Don't agree!

[cloudysun]

... you're right, you have way more problems than I do. ... I'm sorry about that. I didn't ever want such bad things for you, but I'm pretty sure at least some of it's my fault.

[ailingsoul]

...I didn't mean it like that. Aniki's life hasn't been easy, either.
