[livingimpaired]

Last name?

And Tom, huh.

[ Ah, well. ]

Then, you're saying that it was someone you know. Are you willing to forgive him?

[beneathmoonlight]

John Becket. Howard-san’s friend.

I have, but...

I still feel

I don’t know

I feel like I didn’t do anything to deserve all this

It’s really selfish, I know, but

[livingimpaired]

That complicates things, but only slightly.

It's hardly selfish.
Those are your feelings, right?
You've done what you could to make yourself mean something in this city, and someone attempted to take that meaning and have it be a benefit to them.
It's not wrong to be upset.
And while you forgive John, I will not. For now.

[beneathmoonlight]

Thank you, Shigaraki-san.

I did my best to run away, but John-san has the ability to control trees and vines, and we were in a forest...

I didn’t stand a chance.

[livingimpaired]

The ability to control trees, hm?

No. I suppose in that situation that you would not.
And regardless if he was under some sort of spell, he did pursue you and left you feeling defenseless and weak.

[beneathmoonlight]

Yeah.

I think he regrets it, at least.

I’m just glad I didn’t kill him.

The tiger wanted to.

[livingimpaired]

The tiger wanted to?

Isn't the tiger you, Atsushi?

[ But maybe he should not word it like that, hm? Still, he closes his eyes and nods -- regardless of knowing someone and feeling safe with them, anyone would feel angry and desiring some retribution for being made helpless. ]

Well. I'll handle it.

Consider yourself absolved of everything that is going to happen.

These are my own actions and for my own reasons, understand?

[beneathmoonlight]

[Isn’t the tiger you?

It’s terrifying to consider the fact that Kei is absolutely right. He and the tiger are one and the same, and the tiger wanted to kill someone...]

Wait

What are you going to do?

[livingimpaired]

What am I going to do?

Are you certain that you wish to know, Atsushi? You cannot claim ignorance later, and it might best for you if you do.

[ Indeed, he makes it sound so much more dire than what he plans to do. All he intends is to have a confrontation of sorts; it will be cathartic for everyone involved. John will feel as both the fiend and the victim; that should be enough to have him escape the guilt of falling under a spell. Atsushi will feel as though someone will defend and watch over him; the small guilty satisfaction in feeling cared for by someone else.

Kei will be the only one who loses. If it goes as he believes. ]

[beneathmoonlight]

That sounds really ominous!!

Please don’t feel like you have to get revenge on my behalf or something. I don’t want you to get hurt.
