[It takes a little while for Felix to respond to this one, as he reads it over and thinks about it.]
huh. "difficult" my father used to call me that. not that it was at all the same thing. no one was afraid of me for no good reason.
[Felix frowns at the screen. It's too familiar, all of this, but he can't put his finger on exactly why.]
it's stupid. they should judge you based on what you've actually done. anyway no don't apologize. none of us are from your world and no one here cares what those people think. usually when people apologize for nothing it's a lie. to placate me or distract me from a real problem. but you're apologizing for who you are. don't do that. never apologize for you who are. that's a lie in its own way.
