[He wasn't expecting all of that at all. He'd half hoped that the question would get Allen to drop the subject, truly.
The direct honesty of his words are like a blow and a balm all in one, and Kuro seems to shrink in on himself, eyes falling to the floor.
Because regret he had in spades.... He'd long tried to pretend otherwise, to avoid those feelings, to shirk off the responsibility for his own guilt and fear. He'd learned how wrong he was in trying.... But what did regret even change?
Feline ears fold back against his skull.]
...Regret means nothing on it's own. I can't bring the people I've killed back, and I can't change the things I let happen. I'm... trying to be better, [He knows he's not the same person he was, before Mahiru. He's glad of it, even if it's hard, so hard to face the things he didn't want to face.] but that doesn't mean I haven't done horrible things. Even now, I don't know if I can do enough to even try to make up for it all. I'll probably fail, knowing me.
