[Those who know Vash may have been noticing slight differences about him the past week to two weeks. He's not around as much, taking longer and longer walks through the forest. Visiting the spot where he once fought Wolfwood and Legato more and more.

Today he leaves his house extra early and spends most of the day at that spot. He has his journal and will answer it if someone wants to get a hold of him, but will not be using it himself. He'll return to the village later in the evening and finds a quiet place to sit at Good Spirits with a bottle of cheap whiskey.]

There's so much life in this place... and yet... [No one knows the terrible things I've done.]

[He'll be there until the place looks like it's about to close up before stumbling his way back home. It's on his way that he takes his journal out and speaks into it with the slightest slur to his voice.]

[Voice]

On this day, back home... the city of July was destroyed. I know - I know you all couldn't know the people there. I just, I just don't want them to ever be forgotten and how they lost everything in a single moment. [He stops speaking for a moment. His voice breaking as tears start to fall from his eyes.] And I'm so sorry.

I know, but I wish there was some way it could be taken back.

You can't do that. Think of all the families who've suffered and had to come ta terms with their loss, if ya undo all of that then yer not bein' very respectful to them. You'd be makin' a mockery of their suffering.

Bad things happen, growing and remembering them is all we can do.

But if I could take it back, then they wouldn't have to suffer.

Ya know how timelines are all wiggly here? In some other universe that city would still be destroyed, even if you stopped it in yer own.

It's just the way the cruel hands of fate work, sorry.
