And there you have it.

The full story.

The reason behind my self-loathing comments. 

I killed so many ponies. I single-handedly brought down a kingdom that had existed peacefully for generations. In less than a year, I destroyed the world.

And for what?

Love?

NO!

I wasn’t in love! I simply couldn’t comprehend not being able to have what I wanted! 

My own failings brought about the deaths of innocents.

I was just a colt!

Poysun was as sweet as sugar venom, enticing me, teasing me…

I couldn’t not go after her!

I was young!

Why didn’t they stop me? Why didn’t that bloody captain stick his blade through my neck the second I stepped out of line?

Wouldn’t that be better?

For everyone?

Including me…?

I think…

I think I’m going to climb up to what’s left of Poysun’s tower. I think that was where we pushed the captain to his doom when he tried to separate us.

I think it will be windy up there.

I think I’m not as surefooted as I used to be.

I think there’s no atonement for what I’ve done.

I think

I think

I think

I think I’m sorry.
