#hagar

TL;DR: Hargar is not wrong for wanting to make up for what happened. The ghosts are not wrong for being upset their murder showed up uninvited to their home.

I guess it's another testament to the amazing writing in the game that I've seen several posts talk about how the ghosts are in the wrong for kicking Hagar out.

Maybe it's because I grew up in a culture that pushes the toxic idea of "if they've changed (siad they're sorry, started going to church, etc), you *have* to forgive them and let them back in your life/the community" that I cannot fault the ghosts at all for being unhappy and wanting her out.

She invaded their safe space so she could find penance for her guilt.

It's commendable she is trying to make a amends about the genocide at all. She might be the only one tbh...

Guilt is a heavy burden to have on your soul. It's natural to want to relieve it in someway, but appearing at your victims' home and trying to do lawn work you weren't asked to do isn't the way.

It hurts to be genuinely sorry for what you did and not be able to get forgiveness, but sometimes that leaves only moving on and learning from your mistakes.

As siad in the comic, I don't think the ghosts will ever forgive her--they can't even forgive themselves by the end, it seems--but the best I can hoped for is eventual apathy, if nothing else. Not letting Hagar or The Old Faith be a constant, enraging buzz in the back of their minds that drives their actions and the cycle of hurt.
