I've told him upfront that I trust you to work things out with me, and I've left it at that. Whether he's believed me or not, I'm not entirely sure. But I sincerely think that's a matter of his trust in my word, not your capabilities.

[Akira better know that much, man, or he's gonna be REALLY disappointed in Akira smh]

You're right. Ithaqua has every right to be upset if he took your information and came to a negative conclusion about it. It's fine to be frustrated. It's fine to be angry, even.

How he chooses to react, though? That is on him. He chose to lash out and make a decision based on his feelings, and he has to deal with the ripple effect of that.

You can feel empathy for Urianger's situation, Bruno, but you can't control where the ripples of your choices go.
