Dr. Ratio

"There's no rush."

Dr. Ratio

Greetings, I am Veritas Ratio.

Dr. Ratio

Knowledge should flow freely between people, and the same fate should befall truth. You can ask me about technical problems at any moment, and I shall do my utmost to give you a reply.

Dr. Ratio

But before you ask, remember to establish best practices for intense self-rumination, and remember that time is precious for everyone, as for me, so for you.

i don't think so
i rested for a while with nanamin and i feel normal again

That's [ a relief, to know he hasn't forever ruined a young man's life. It lessens the guilt, a little ] good to hear. But don't be afraid to visit the medical bay if you experience relapses or sudden side effects. Dr. Iki and Ratchet will be more than capable of assisting you.

i've been there a lot because of choso anyway but
that's not why i messaged you, you know?

i forgive you. so don't beat yourself up any more.

[ Ratio is silent for a long time. ]

...I didn't ask for your forgiveness, you imbecile. Nor is it enough to absolve me of the responsibility of harming you.

[ Regardless of how Yuji feels about the situation, the fact that he is a dangerous individual when corrupted remains true. And it behooves him to neutralize that threat, should the worst come to pass again. And bear the anger of those who suffered as a result of Yuji's corruption. ]

isn't it mine to give, since i'm the one who got hurt?

[ Yuji is just... Shrugging it off, not because it isn't a big deal, but because he can't really blame Ratio when he understands and empathises too much. ]

[ He's not wrong, but Ratio has always struggled to handle certain types of interactions—this being one such example. That's on him, really, and Yuji is reminding him of that. ]

...I cannot refute that.

[ So he's been forgiven. So what? It hasn't changed the weight he still feels bearing down upon him, which has lessened over the week since they've returned back to base, but is still nonetheless heavy on his mind. Should Yuji's forgiveness bring him relief? He has never been one to be changed by sentiment, and it seems forgiveness, too, is a sentiment that does not change him. ]

Is there anything else you need from me?
