I hurt you first, Chara, and what I did was so, so much worse. I should never have raised my hand against a child. You should never have had to see somebody who loves you, who is supposed to care for you, attempting to hurt you.

You deserve so much more than I could ever hope to offer you.

[She knows that it's true. The very fact that they're reacting like this. Curling up like that. Proclaiming that they don't deserve it... it just further cements that they're only a child. A scared, lost child, who still has so much to learn about compassion, who needs to be helped and loved. Not hated.]

What we both did was terrible, but. It does not mean that we can not learn from it. It does not mean that we do not deserve mercy, and kindness.

[She wishes that she could hug Chara, hold them close and reassure them... but she feels that they would not appreciate that right now. So instead, she stands up- takes the pie. It should be cool enough by now- and goes over to the counter. A few moments later, she comes back with a slice of pie on a plate, which she sets in front of them.]

Here. You probably need to eat, my child. I made it just how you like it.
