What else do you call someone who leaves a person behind to die?

[zewu_jun]

A person that wants to live. Sometimes we do not do things as we feel we should when we look back. But that does not mean those actions define us forever.

[gunsmithed]

It was my sister.

[zewu_jun]

What happened?

[gunsmithed]

A very long story. We were the only survivors.

She did live. Things are a bit awkward between us.

[zewu_jun]

You were in danger?

[gunsmithed]

Our entire family was murdered, so yes.

[zewu_jun]

Then you had reason to be afraid. In that situation, panic is... difficult to resist.

I'm sorry. For both of you.

[gunsmithed]

I suppose. We were trying to escape, she took some arrows. I just kept running.

Thank you.

[zewu_jun]

I understand your feeling of guilt.

I still think you are a strong person.

[gunsmithed]

Oh, I have plenty to feel guilty about. That's just the first.

[zewu_jun]

You aren't the only one to run.

[gunsmithed]

I'm not sure that makes it better.

[zewu_jun]

I only mean that it is not only your weight to bear. And that is true for other regrets.

We carry many sins with us, wishing we could return to the innocence of the past and perhaps have corrected them. But that is only because we know now how to live better.

It makes us judge ourselves harshly.
