I-if anyone has a moment, I'm having a small problem. [This was the understatement of the millennium.]

I'd like to ask how...h-how...er...forgive me, I am having some trouble articulating things today. [Diarmuid adjusted the glasses he wore, seeming hesitant to look directly at the camera at first.]

Imagine one that...has gone through life without anger or hatred. This individual had never felt spite, resentment, or even a shred of those kind of things. He did all he could to put others and their happiness before himself and his own, finding contentment and joy in doing so. But after a certain point, that person...he found someone that did something so deplorable that it left that person filled with rage and spite.

He found someone that he hated. And no matter how he tried, that person could not simply forgive what was done to earn that hatred.

I beg of you, Prospero. Someone please tell me how that person can go back to the way he was. Before he could feel anger and spite, back when he could still grant forgiveness.

[Diarmuid looked away for a moment; he was unsure, even worried.]

Fionn, Grainne-- [Gods, what would they think of him when they knew?] ...there is something I have not yet told you. Forgive me for not doing so until now.

Arturia... [Another pause. She had been there when he had died, she knew the horrible rage he had unleashed that day. Cursing her, Kayneth, Kiritsugu, even the Grail itself. Again he worried that she must secretly detest such a hateful spirit.] When you have the time...I would like to speak with you. Please.

I don't know what to do.

That's a completely normal human thing to feel. Even if you're wrong, I wouldn't expect you to care.

You truly are naive. Once a heart knows hate, it will never forget. There is no salvation. You will forever be tormented by the sins you set upon yourself.

[Edgeworth had thought that Diarmuid had been the victim of a mere murder after having been subjected to a string of abuse at the hands of a self-absorbed man. This... at first, he isn't even sure what to call this, other than a crime of the highest degree. The prosecutor grasps for more accurate words than "murder" and "betrayal" in vain.]
truthsnomiracle: Edgeworth glances over his shoulder with a very firm, disapproving expression. (No one gets away with that in MY office)

[Only after a moment do the parallels strike him.]

...Diarmuid... often, understanding a situation can help. It cannot restore your innocence, but it can provide the perspective necessary to better direct and control one's darker emotions.

Wow, you are naive, aren't you? I'm sweeps younger than you and I already know that!
king_of_heroes: (LOL u mad?)

You asked everyone. Perhaps next time you should specify.

My apologies -- I'm hardly the sort suited to be a therapist. All that I can think to do is to compare this to my own life. In my experience, it was the truth about both its events and my own values and purpose that allowed me to begin to become a better man.
truthsnomiracle: Edgeworth is holding his finger to his temple with a serious expression. (Logic button)

Were we in a position to do so, I would advise unraveling the whole truth of the situation. However, the most vital witness seems to possess no memory of the events in question. Given the nature of the kidnappings, it is even possible that he has yet to commit this heinous crime.
truthsnomiracle: Edgeworth is side-eyeing you disapprovingly. (Unimpressed)

Time is probably the best solution to his failure to grasp the situation here. I have my doubts that one such as he could simply be told the truth to any useful effect.

As I suspected.

Would it be accurate to say that hatred itself is something that you fail to fully comprehend?
blackestomen: (Sidelong Pose)

[personal profile] blackestomen 2012-01-08 10:14 pm (UTC)(link)
Hm....

It is useless to try and not feel something. These things must run their course. Do you worry that it will consume you? Spill over into every part of yourself?
blackestomen: (Shadow claims me)

[personal profile] blackestomen 2012-01-08 10:47 pm (UTC)(link)
It can. It could. But only if you let it.

The fact that you worry about such a thing... and so openly... I don't think you'd have it in you, to be consumed.
truthsnomiracle: Edgeworth looks away sourly while grabbing his left elbow with his right hand. (Emo)

I cannot truthfully claim that it did no such thing to me, merely that it is truth which pulled me from the abyss.
