I think that would be a good thing to do, Jedao agrees, and he's not happy when Edwin is feeling so miserable, but he's proud of him anyway, for understanding, for taking the next step.
I don't know if Chase will appreciate it or not, but I think Hunter will.
Jedao gives him a soft pulse of affection, a little careful squeeze of warm pride for Edwin thinking about it from someone else's point of view.
We can't control other people's reactions. We can only control what we choose to do. Will you appreciate it?
I mean - that you've realized something you think you should do. You can chose to do it, even though it might not fix everything, or you can not do it. Which one of those people do you want to be?
There's a silence. The rebellious, angry, frightened part of him says he'll be the one who doesn't give a shit, thanks.
But he doesn't like the things that come along with not giving a shit. He doesn't like the thought of Hunter being mad at him still, or staying mad if he doesn't apologize properly.
[...I don't know if I'll appreciate it. But I think I want to do it anyway.]
Well, it could be emotional, like listening to you practice your words, or just promising to be there with you afterwards, if it doesn't go great and you still feel upset. Or it could be logistical, like I could ask Chase for you if he'd rather here you on the communicator or meet somewhere.
I don't know how you want or - plan to do it. But I'll help if you want me to. That's all. Maybe it's just good knowing someone is on your side.
