[There's only silence at first, aside from some very quiet background noise. After a few moments though, a deep voice speaks, sounding more than a little disoriented.]

None of what has happened is your fault, Martel. Yuan and I were in a position to stop Mithos when we still directly could, and we did not.

[ She's been through this kind of conversation numerous times with many friends, but she has yet to be convinced this wasn't her fault. ]

But he's my brother therefore my responsibility. I should have been more cautious when I was raising him.

...Mithos should have been our responsibility, as well, once you were gone.

I just wish there was more I could have done to prevent all of this . . .

[voice]

[shiningbinds.livejournal.com]

Regardless, you have no fault in this.

[ A sad smile emerged on her face. It was obvious to her that they weren't going anywhere with this so she changed the topic to more important matters. ]

. . . Kratos, do you realize that Mithos is here as well?

...I am.

You won't have to worry about him . . . Yuan had him imprisoned for the time being.

...it's not upsetting you too much, is it?

[voice]

I won't lie about it upsetting me, but it's . . . necessary. [ She says with hesitation and much sadness in her tone. ]

I tried to get him to stop hurting people, but he just won't understand. I can't watch him forever. Moreover no matter what I do I can't seem to get him to stop.

[voice]

[shiningbinds.livejournal.com]

He has been like this for too many lifetimes, Martel. It... will probably be next to impossible to cause him to stop.

[voice]

[seraphgoddess.livejournal.com]

No! I-I believe there's a way to stop him. He trusts me so maybe I could convince him . . .

[ Even if it's the truth, she doesn't want to believe that her little brother is beyond help. She doesn't want to accept that. ]

If that is what you wish to try and do, then I cannot stop you. However, I do request that you be careful.
