Hello! This will be my question of today since we are talking about invasive, [ △ ]
To Dr Rosch..do you wish you hadn't met Alexander? Im sure youve got good memories but y'know things happen 𐔌՞. .՞𐦯
I don't speak much of the people I've met. And if I do, it is very select parts of my history with them. Like some sort of... Damage control. Most of them I pretend like they never even existed. And that goes extra for him. I don't even like to mention his name.
Alexander... Ha! Can you believe we were on a first name basis right off the bat? No Mr. Rowan or Doctor Kakkelakka! Just Rosch and Alexander. He always put my name first, too. Why, I just don't know.
I could twist and turn his actions to try to guess what he meant all day long. I have been, for more than a hundred years now. But I'll never know.
Do I wish I hadn't met him? There are times where I fantasize about being back there, just to tell him off. Call him out. Tell him what a coward he is. Being angry is just... So much easier.
But that hate isn't me. And I know anger is just a response to something in you being hurt. Maybe my pride. Maybe my trust.
And I also know it isn't true. He was no coward.
They say bravery is a decision, and fear is a response.
And I was terrified when I saw those men. But I knew I had Alexander at my back and I felt strengthened by our training, by his words and all the belief he had put in me. So I chose to be brave.
But he saw the danger. I remember that look in his eyes. Can one single moment destroy a man forever? Can it ruin his legacy, his person?
I don't know. I go back and forth on this like a pendulum. He always stood up for me. He always looked people in the eye. Especially those everyone else would avoid and ignore. He invited those down on their luck to dine with him
I mean- he invited me in to stay with him when I wasn't even stable enough to tell him my name. I had nothing and he gave me everything. Do I wish I had never met him?
The most hurtful thing he ever did was disappear from my life.
I miss him. And I will always be thankful that I had the honor to know him."
