_{[It's ass o'clock in the night sometime, and apparently Wrath the network's resident Mystery Misspeller has been doing a lot of thinking. He may be breaking his cover a bit here... but he can't keep ignoring the inevitable.]}

<sub>[While it won't be immediately evident when the post goes up, it should be noted that Wrath pauses here. Hm... he doesn't want to make it too obvious who he is. He needs to put some other stuff in there, to throw off the scent.]

[He opens PsyDuckDuckGo and types, painstakingly with his one hand that the touchscreen will actually register, "LIST OF CRIMES"]</sub>

Well that may be one the largest obstacles yet to you reconciling with the other party. It is one thing to say cruel words in the heat of the moment or even cause bodily harm to one another. In many cases, that cannot be harmed.

But stealing one another's identity.... I think that may be a truly heinous crime. Intimate in a way that is hard to put into words.

Did you or the other person do these things, or did you do them to one another?

[YEAH THE IDENTITY THEFT IS WORSE THAN MURDER.]

[LISTEN.]

[LISTEN.]

_{[NOOOOO HOW COULD HIS VERY SLICK ATTEMPT TO MAKE HIMSELF LESS IDENTIFIABLE COME BACK TO BITE HIM LIKE THIS????]}

[Hm....]

[Dimitri's "small child on their own who was never taught to spell" senses are tingling. They weren't uncommon, back in Faerghus, and Fodlan as a whole really - the war meant that literary education fell to the wayside when there were more important matters to attend to. You know. Like trying not to starve, or get murdered by bandits or, worse, the Empire.]

[Still... This is anonymous. So he won't say too much, and does his best to simply take that information as context.]

I see. Sometimes punishments do help us realize when we have done something truly awful. It can be difficult to understand but I do hope that you learned not to do that again.

Although I think maybe it may be good for you to not hang out with the person who is very good at stealing identities. They sound like they may be mean to you or make you think to do bad things again.

You said you weren't sure if you should be forgiven. Does that mean you have forgiven these friends as well?

[garbagechild]

<sub>[HIS SENSES ARE CORRECT... but Wrath doesn't even think of himself as a child anymore. It's hard to, after everything...]

[It's a little while before Dimitri gets a response, because his words actually prove to be some HEAVY material to chew on.]

[Envy was mean to him. Envy did make him do bad things. Envy had, in fact, been Wrath's entire gateway into that entire mess. And his freshest memories of the eldest Homunculus are painful ones. (Literally. That's what the 'hitting and kicking repeatedly' bulletpoint on the list was for).]

[But there are other memories. Ones that, despite the way this world peels time apart into strands and then tangles them up however it pleases, Wrath knows are more real.]

[Here, without the shadow of 'You-Know-Who' looming over their shoulder for each decision, Envy chose to be kind.]</sub>

its tru he was mean

they all were mean

but here it was diferent

we coud all b nys to each other without getting punished

_{[Punished for bad deeds, punished for good deeds... the life of a Homunculus was in fact rife with punishment.]}

i under stand more now than i did be4 why we hurt each other so much
