Chapter 117

"I am so sorry Michiko...." Never had I stopped to think, for just one moment what my actions were doing to her, I told myself that our relationship was mutually beneficial, I used that to justify taking advantage of her kindess and in doing so I became just like the people who hurt and took advantage of her, I became just like Mario "....I am, so, so, sorry...." 

"No, really, it wasn't as bad as you think, it's really not important....." She tries to make light of it but I can't 

"How could you say that?, how could you say never seeing the real you wasn't important?, Watching you stifle yourself wasn't important?, You weren't important?, How am I any different from Yoshi..?"
