I'm sure he'll understand, Hiro. Maybe not right away, but -- he can't fault you for having emotions.

Do you know what my team and I did after my teacher was killed?

it's gory, isn't it.

The people responsible are very, very dead.

Now, they just happened to be international criminals who would have been a danger to everyone if they hadn't been stopped, but -- I specifically requested to help. I went against the orders I was given to make sure I was there to help carry it out.

[everydayhero]

... so what did you do to them?

text;

[ino]

We killed them.

Well, as much as they could be killed, anyways. One of them is technically immortal, but he's in pieces and buried ten feet under.

[ She'll leave out the part where she also helped kill them AGAIN during the war hahahaha ]

... that's pretty hardcore.

[and dark, which is the point here.]

It is what it is. And I won't pretend like I didn't get any closure out of it, either.

Point being -- feeling the way you did isn't uncommon or strange. And in the end, that experience made you a better person.

[ino]

And you helped others. Like he would have wanted.

text;

[everydayhero]

... yeah. i think i need to tell him soon.

text;

[ino]

It's hard, holding on to something like that for that long.

text;

[everydayhero]

yeah, it is.

text;

[ino]

Well, if you do decide to tell him -- at least the air will be clear, for real this time.

text;

[everydayhero]

it'll feel a lot better for me. but not for him.

Sometimes there's a relief in knowing the whole truth. Even if it's not the truth you were hoping for.

text;

[everydayhero]

i hope that gives him some peace after all of this.

[ino]

I hope so, too.
