I swore to do anything for my students. I've been their advocate, confidant, trainer, and teacher.  I've been a mother to them. Isn't that just a shining example of selflessness? Aren't I doing so good, playing the concerned mentor to these poor children after those bastard parents abandoned them at the school? All of my old students come back and give praise on what a good job I've done. My colleagues think I'm a saint for all my work. Haven't I done so well? Just a few more, I think. A few more children to play parent to and it will make up for abandoning my own children.

If you can't fix your own failures, fix another's.

...Are you going batty over a shadow, too, old lady.

Who is to say I wasn't already insane?

[toomanypetals.livejournal.com]

Crazier, then.

[Draaaaaaaawl.]

I take that as a yes.

But don't you agree with what I'm stating, Kanda? It's not so insane to speak the truth.

[toomanypetals.livejournal.com]

Not really. Give if you want, but you can't just ignore your own failings, old lady.

[OMG THESE SHADOWS...]

My. Your kind certainly has the obnoxious habit of spreading dark secrets around.

[Voice]

[crazyoldbat.livejournal.com]

Regardless of how well it has been hidden, I'm only speaking the truth.

Where is Ingrid Barnes?

Re: [Voice]

[crazyoldbat.livejournal.com]

I am Ingrid Barnes.

She would not say things like that. Not publicly.

Pretty hard to fix the past in my experience. You don't have much of anywhere to go but forward anyway.

[He chuckles.]

You shadow types just can't look at a good deed for what it is, can you?

[crazyoldbat.livejournal.com]

That does not mean one shouldn't try.

[She smiles sardonically.]

I have no idea what you mean.

[athngabla.livejournal.com]

Bad idea if you aren't keeping at least one eye forward while you do it.

Sometimes helping people out's just helping people out. Human nature, isn't it?

[crazyoldbat.livejournal.com]

Is that what you think? No one helps out others without getting something in return.

[athngabla.livejournal.com]

Of course. My point was intent. Not like a person goes, "hey, I'm gonna make a career out of this just to make myself feel good about something!"

[oneshot-wonder.livejournal.com]

Better to try to make up for it than do nothing at all.

[crazyoldbat.livejournal.com]

But is there a real way to make up for such a thing?

[oneshot-wonder.livejournal.com]

Depends on the person. If you can't do it, you can't. Better to say you died trying.

[crazyoldbat.livejournal.com]

No one remember those who simply tried. Results matter much more.

[Nooo. Not you too, Mama Bird!]

Ingrid...We all make mistakes but we shouldn't turn away from them. Those mistakes make us stronger and we learn from them. Even if we can't change the past, there is always time to make up for it.

[crazyoldbat.livejournal.com]

That's an answer that lacks experience. Does making up for it ever make things better to those we wronged?

[byeontae-geomi.livejournal.com]

Well isn't that just the saddest little story~...

[crazyoldbat.livejournal.com]

So it is.

[byeontae-geomi.livejournal.com]

I'm drowning in my tears over here.

[crazyoldbat.livejournal.com]

Oh, how tragic for you dear.
