Hey, Hikaru. Listen to me: even if your actions played a part in it, that's what they were. A part. You're not wholly responsible, and the burden is not wholly yours.

What happened last week was a culmination of several things going horribly wrong. If you're to blame for using that gemstone on him, then I'm to blame for trying to talk to him. And Kano himself is to blame for being shifty in the first place. And everyone who voted for him is to blame for not realizing what was going on.

I won't say you're wrong to feel guilty, but don't let that guilt consume you, yeah?
