"I am not someone who gives in easily, but …" Soul Eater began speaking with great difficulty, then continued, "I really made a mistake here. I have to admit, I betrayed your trust. I hope you can forgive me – if only because I have followed and supported you for such a long time."

This meal was one of the most difficult meals of his life. Everything he ate tasted bland.
"You want me to forgive you. If your plan had succeeded, would you have come here to ask for my forgiveness?" Water Fairy replied softly.
"Yes, of course …" Soul Eater responded with uncertainty. He was lost for words.
