MYL - Locked, but hackable

67.5 People I failed to save
1. Tana
2. Bart
3. Knockout
4. Slobo
5. Donna
6. The Guardian
7. My Legion

67.3 People I rescued
1. Everyone alive on the planet, at least.

Why do I still feel like I failed?

That's a potent piece in few words

Thank you. : )

Kiddo--you didn't fail. Sometimes... we're just not fast enough or strong enough, or just--enough. It doesn't mean we fail.

I know that. But it doesn't stop me from sometimes seeing their faces at night and wishing I could have saved them somehow.

Yeah, I know what that's like. The only advice I have is to try to think of the faces of the people you love that you have saved when you can't stop seeing faces of those you couldn't.

I guess I can try that. It hurts more when I can't save them.

Yeah, I know the feeling.

You didn't not save me, idiot. You were dead before I was. I'm fine. *hugs*

[identity profile] ihavettk.livejournal.com 2009-03-24 06:38 pm (UTC)(link)
*hugs* Yeah, but how about the time your scout died? And if I hadn't died, maybe I could have kept you safe.

And maybe you'd have been saving the world, and I'd have been on my own, like I was. It's fine, Kon. I'm alive, I'm healthy, I'm pretty happy, everything's okay.

You know playing the "what if?" game is only going to make everything worse.

[identity profile] ihavettk.livejournal.com 2009-03-24 06:52 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, I know. Sorry, I'll get over it.

[identity profile] sofasterthanyou.livejournal.com 2009-03-24 06:55 pm (UTC)(link)
It's okay, Kon. I love you, man. Stop beating yourself up.

[identity profile] ihavettk.livejournal.com 2009-03-24 07:00 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah... I'll do my best.

I hate letting people down.

...Alright, c'mere. It's hug time.

[identity profile] sofasterthanyou.livejournal.com 2009-03-24 07:13 pm (UTC)(link)
I know you do. That's why I'm offering them.

[identity profile] ihavettk.livejournal.com 2009-03-24 07:19 pm (UTC)(link)
Well, c'mere, buddy.
