WHAT I'D CHANGE

Because nobody's perfect!

HOW TO PLAY
↺ Forget those blank comments, info in the subject, usual memes. In this meme, we use the subject line to put the one thing our characters would change about themselves whether they'd usually admit it to anyone or not. Their choice can be a physical, mental, or emotional one, a personality trait, a past mistake or choice, whichever's the most dramatic.
↺ Then: welcome to the peanut gallery! Everybody else comments.
↺ You know that's the meme.

I think I’m entitled to more than I deserve.

[arana]

Money, love, a family, technology. It always has to be me, always has to be more.

[hobblepot]

I do not know what you have done or might feel the need to answer for. But I believe you owe it to yourself not to stand in the way of your own happiness. [A humourless smirk cuts across his face.] Others will already be doing that.

[arana]

I thought that way too. Long time. Thought I could have what I wanted, I could pay the toll to entry, even hurt a few people. Just a little. ( he wasn't always the selfless stick in the mud he is today. there was a time he was nearly a villain, at least a bastard. )

My happiness costs everyone else. I can't live with that.

[hobblepot]

For your sake, I do hope you make peace with your past. Life only comes around once; do not let it pass you by or that, too, will haunt you to the end – I promise you that.

That I had been a better father

[noribrandyfoot]

I'm sure you tried your best...

[privateeyes]

No, I didn't. I was too selfish, too caught up in my own thoughts. I neglected her and nothing can change what I did or that it was entirely my fault.

[vakna]

Tell me one thing you would have done differently.

[privateeyes]

I would have been there when she needed me. But I wasn't. I have no excuse for it, I simply chose not to be.

[vakna]

Regret tempts us to rewrite the past, but we can’t.

[ She lingers on something in the distance before her eyes return to him. ]

You’re not the best father, but I see you’re not the worst.

[privateeyes]

That is kind of you to say and perhaps it's true, in a way. There is always the possibility of someone worse. But it doesn't change the truth for me. I was unfit for parenthood.

[vakna]

It's not a statistical possibility... It's true because you regret it.

[ The act of self-reflection does not absolve him but sets him apart from indifferent parents. ]

You can't right the past... What are you going to do now?

The entire last five years of his first life

[cawsforconcern]

Jeez, how long do you have for this one? A couple minutes? Couple hours? A week?

It's all over with, anyway. Curtains closed. Can't go back. Can't change any of it. Probably just make things worse if I tried.

Now? I dunno. Now's not so bad. Though I'd settle for being able to scratch my own back once in a while.

Convince Satsuki to stop

[flatcola]

No - no say I want to be taller, that's less complicated to get into.

Don't die at the end of the show?

[pleple]

Wow, you're spoiling everyone for a... thirty-seven year old anime.

That I could be strong enough to stop others -
