What is your life's greatest regret?

[ghoulking]

I murdered my best friend.

This has got to be the saddest thing I have ever seen omg.

[d33tached]

[So, you two can relate then. Too bad he doesn't realize that you're literally his husband and he could just be talking to you about this in person.]

Was it intentional?

That I will never be what I'm meant to be.

[d33tached]

How do you mean?

[h2no]

DID YOU ACCIDENTALLY DELETE THE WORD APP I SENT YOU?

[he knows that is LITERALLY NOT EVEN CLOSE to the problem, but... goof?]

[d33tached]

[Really, dad? Really?]

What in the world are you talking about now?

[A heart breaking fact that nobody asked for: he deleted it on purpose because he couldn't share it with K31 anymore. He used to send her new words daily.]

[Voice]

[goingwrong]

Well, that's classified. But sounds to me like you've got something you wanna discuss.

[d33tached]

It sounds to me that you are not prepared to engage in that discussion given your response.

[He asked a question, Reyes. Don't read into it.]

The world nearly ended because I didn't keep my end of a bargain.

[d33tached]

[More harbingers of the apocalypse. This world is apparently full of them.]

I don't suppose you would mind providing a bit more detail regarding the situation.

Someone's feeling cheerful.

Personally I find regret to be a waste of time.

If you're going to regret it, you had no place doing it to begin with.

[Hi D.]

[d33tached]

Having no place in doing something and yet doing it anyway would be the nature of regret, wouldn't it, Andrew?

[Hi, Andrew.]

[fauxmarth]

This is really D33, is it?
You've been gone for a while! I'm so glad to see you're back!
But this is a grim topic... Why would you wish to know?

[d33tached]

It is, of course.

[D33, that is.]

I am simply curious to know.

My biggest regret is helping my father.

What's yours?

[Private]

[d33tached]

I do not wish to speak of my own regrets at the moment, Abigail. Though, it is no mystery to me that what you've mentioned is one of your own.

You had little choice in the matter, as I recall.

text; and then there's this bullshit

[snarkbot]

I was unable to prevent my chassis from being invaded by Mr. Mind. I am told the chaos he wracked in my body was unconscionable.

[d33tached]

[Yeah, that...definitely does sound like some sort of bullshit.]

Someone took control of your [chassis?] body, Skeets?

Did that happen within this world?

[continuousgroaning]

after reading everything above it's stupid

but i regret spending way too much time chasing after a boy who didn't like me as much as i liked him

[justaskalice]

is that worse or better than not pursuing one who did?

[text]

[topmeup]

Why focus on the regret instead of what you can change for the better?

[d33tached]

[Wow, he does not need your positivity right now.]

I am simply curious to know.

[Own up to my own mistakes and use them to better myself? Honestly, how dare you?]

I believed lies about my mother. That she wanted to die because of me...I believed I didn't deserve to live.

[d33tached]

I see.

[This is strange - a pang of sympathy, perhaps? D33 will never admit to having a soft spot about mothers, but there it is.]

Did the manner in which she died lend itself to this line of thought?

[justaskalice]

repeatedly failing to ask for help when needed

[d33tached]

Did doing so result in some sort of failure, then?

Letting my anger consume me and assisting my father in countless murders.

[d33tached]

[He wonders for a moment if this might be Abigail before he sees her message above.

[Interesting.]

Did your anger lend to your role in these murders?

That is to say, did you want to carry them out?

[nightmarist]

that bowl cut i had in 4th grade

[d33tached]

A "bowl cut"?

[Like a cut...from a bowl?]

[carefully dictated...]

I killed someone. When I was eight. Ripped out his throat. Didn't know what I was about to do.

[it's definitely, like, the big foundational regret at least.]

[d33tached]

[Jeez. That's edgy even for D33.]

You ripped someone's throat out at only eight years old.

Had you been trained to do so?

[That's the only explanation he can really think of, and if that's the case, he can relate.]

[lightinside]

Letting my anger consume me and taking a long time to forgive.

[d33tached]

I am assuming that this anger of yours led to some sort of unfavorable outcome.

[knaval]

not putting you on a higher roof
or just not doing it again?
that was fun.

[d33tached]

[D33 actually types out the words "fuck off" before deleting them.]

Leave me alone.

That was the number of people I killed with one shot.

[d33tached]

[...Holy shit.]

A rather impressive shot, then. Surely you can't mean from a gun.

[functusofficio]

That's a heavy question to ask without offering anything in return.

[d33tached]

Then perhaps you might think not to answer it.

[calloused]

[ ah, he's never told anyone his biggest regrets. he's not going to start now, but that won't stop him from dancing around the conversation like a cagey asshole. maybe he'll even say "i suppose" a lot. like some people. SOME PEOPLE. ]

Are you okay?

[d33tached]

[Wowwwwwwwww.]

My well being has nothing to do with the question I've posed.

[Do not try to out-dance the Grand Master of avoidance and cagey assholeitude.]

Almost getting a loved one killed.

[d33tached]

How so?

[fource]

Hello, D33. I'm sorry again about what happened a few days ago. I hope you see how many people are glad that you're back in this world.

Sometimes all we can do after we make mistakes is resolve to help whoever we can, even if it's impossible to make it up to the people we've hurt.

[Private]

[d33tached]

[Who the fuck...?]

What do you mean "what happened a few days ago"? We've scarcely spoken.

[fehus]

i wouldn't really want to talk about it. which i guess is hypocritical, since i'm gonna ask you if you want to talk about it?

hey dee.

[d33tached]

The intention of this post was not to speak about my own regrets, no.

Hello, Magnus.
