I dunno man any time someone tries to write a "fix fic" where these operatic vengeance narratives are instead resolved by discussion and empathy the characters always stop feeling like human beings to me It's a cousin of those creepy "rationalist fics"https://twitter.com/BootlegGirl/status/1285066326579597313 …

It's a well played scene, not just for the sudden emotional flip but for what Angel is saying here Yeah, I looked into it, I understand your POV, I empathize with it And I'm still not going to forgive you You can give up on that whole idea right now

It doesn't have to be everyone in your life, even just one person or time, or in this case, a fictional story.

Not better but more worried about my own inner peace There are many in anyone's life that are not worth the effort of seeing things from their point of view. Nor they would ever try to see yours I don't do it for them, I do it for me. Hate has a way of keeping people stuck
