That snowy afternoon, with a bag of money from Bishop clutched tightly in his hand, Allen walked back home. Confusion and emptiness seemed to weigh him down, the same as the heavy snowflakes that had settled on his weary head.
How could he change? What steps could he take to alter the course of his life? Doubt lingered in his heart as he wondered if apologizing was truly the right thing to do.
What if that person doesn't want to forgive me? What should I do?
He thought about it because it was difficult for him to convey his desire to apologize to Vash. As much as he wanted to say it, it turned out that he hadn't done anything wrong to Vash in the first place, which made his determination to apologize futile.
Instead, Vash offered his sincere apology to him. The reason behind this gesture stemmed from the fact that he had once hurled a rock at him, albeit trivially for Allen. Yet, Vash firmly believed such an action could not be easily forgiven.
