Bajie’s heart ached with every word, the raw pain and betrayal in Yoon’s voice cutting deeper than any blade ever could. He took a deep breath, steadying himself.
He thought to himself how Yoon’s mother hadn’t been able to handle the idea of being knocked back down to slave either, how she’d left him in the hopes of insulating herself and Yoon from the repercussions of Bajie’s actions. He could probably mention what a shrew she could be, but he wasn’t about to down talk her to their son. Despite his occasionally questionable morals, even he had limits.

I won’t deny I regret not having been there, Yoon,he began, voice heavy with regret.
It wasn’t an easy life in Andruil’s fighting rings, even for those blessed with winning her favour. When Flea lost favour, I couldn’t see her tossed back down to being just a slave, it was my fault I didn’t train her well enough. I’m not saying this to excuse what I did, because if I had to do it over again, I would help Flea escape just the same.

I understand why you hate me, and I can't change the past,Bajie continued, his voice breaking slightly.
But I want you to know, I never stopped thinking about you. I want to make amends, if you'll let me.
