I admitted, my throat tight. “But at least we’ll know. At least she’ll know. Don’t you get it? She’s been living her whole life haunted by questions. Was it really an accident?

If you think it’s safer to let her believe lies…” I swallowed. “Then you don’t know what it’s doing to her.” His gaze faltered for the first time.

After seeing Tom lying there—broken, bruised, barely holding on—I couldn’t shake the weight pressing down on my chest. The guilt sat like a stone inside me, heavy and sharp. This was all because of me. Because of a debt I couldn’t pay. Because I was too slow, too stupid, too scared.

I will give you everything. The guilt was a constant companion, a heavy cloak I couldn’t shed. Every night, as I lay awake, my mind replayed a montage of past mistakes, each flicker of a memory a fresh stab to my gut. The carefree way I’d flirted with clients at the clinic, the casual intimacy with random women at bars – it was a carousel of carelessness, a stark contrast to the singular devotion I felt now. I couldn’t erase any of it, no matter how desperately I wished I could. But I could build anew. I could paint fresh memories over the faded, painful canvases of the past. Good memories. Memories that would, with time, hopefully overshadow the hurt I had inflicted.

"Cara was alone in our apartment, trapped with voices in her head that told her terrible things. And I was working a double shift because we needed money for medication. I chose work over her. Chose paying bills over being there." My voice cracked but I forced myself to continue. "I came home and found her hanging from the ceiling fan. The note said the voices told her it was the only way to make them stop. She begged me in that note to forgive her. But it wasn't her fault. It was mine." I finally looked up, met Bree's eyes. They were wet with tears now, focused on me with something like recognition. "I've carried that guilt every single day since," I said. "It's a weight that never gets lig

- His voice started to crack, he was finally saying his mind, something that took him far too long. "But what could I do?!" - He screamed, probably to himself. The Dhampir was listening to the Knight. Seeing the tears falling from the man's eyes, he knew that the burden he placed onto himself was just too big. Guilt... it was something everyone, at least once in their lives have experienced, and sometimes it hurts too much. Depending on what exactly you did, the guilt and remorse you feel increases or decreases. Some lamented over a decision they didn't make, others about a terrible act they once did, others at the memory of not saying goodbye to the ones they loved. Everyone had regrets, an

Guilt flows like blood in my veins and the truth that I could have prevented this from happening if I had just accepted my fate is eating me alive. Now I know how Zarina must have felt when she watched those guys die in front of her and all she could do was cry and blame herself. I used to warn her that she was too hard on herself and that no remorse could save them from the wrath of these made men. Yet the truth is that it's impossible not to feel responsible when innocent people die for a cause as rash as mine. Yeah sure, if I had stayed in Venice a little longer, I would have undoubtedly ended up as someone's whore, but it would have been far better than living with this suffocating guilt

Guilty for being weak. Guilty for not trusting them. Guilty for making everyone worry. Sometimes she even felt guilty simply for breathing while Arnold was risking his life somewhere else. Her thoughts had become a prison she could no longer escape. Round and round. Fear. Sadness. Guilt. Again. Again. Again.

The fact that the most significant medical event of my life traces back to your guilt." I looked at him steadily. "But I also recognize that guilt, when it is genuine, sometimes produces things that are genuinely good. The foundation is one of those things." Carr was very still.
