[Take great delight. Vil doesn't frown all that deeply, but his disapproval is apparent in his eyes.]

That is hardly productive. You would be better served doing something with yourself that puts her out of your mind entirely.

[Dwelling is exactly what this stepmother figure seems to be doing, and he knows from experience it doesn't end well. Taking such ill-willed delight isn't any better.]

[There is a frown in return.]

I'm free to hate her however I like. At least I'm not attempting to return her treatment of me.

[Even if her dead would lift a huge weight off his shoulders. As long as she lived he needed to stay careful and vigilant. With her gone, he could truly be free.]

[relentlessbeauty]

But what is the point? What is your hate fueling? Nothing that is ultimately good for you, I would presume.

[He's all about embracing that which improves oneself. Holding on to hate is the same ugliness that had him wanting Neige dead.]

[poisonousflower]

The point? The point is-

[He cut himself off, a deep frown on his face. What was the point beside hate for hates sake? There is nothing good gained from hate and he knew that. Had seen with his own eyes where paths paved with hate leads.]

Then what do you suggest? That I just forgive her? Forget the deeds done to me? Ignore the scars left on my body?

[relentlessbeauty]

Forgive?

[He repeats the word, momentarily stunned. He should have expected the question to come up, but it's still not something easily answered.]

No. You don't have to forgive her. Just like hate takes deliberate effort, so does forgiveness. Some will never be deserving of the effort it takes for you to forgive them.

[He could leave it at that, but he dredges up more words to try to drive the idea home.]

That's why I said to put her out of her mind. It's difficult, but letting hate fester is so much worse.
