HARPER
Sighing softly at the idea that those she has accidentally wronged or hurt live here as well, he brushes his fingers against her scalp and considers. "You can't force them to forgive you, just like Rexanna cannot force you to forgive her for what you experienced. All you can do is try, and keep trying if you think the time is right. Their forgiveness is not what you aim for - you have to forgive yourself." Or she would never be free again, always hinging her absolution on the words of others. "You keep moving. Trying. Remember all the good from the past that you can, and try to make better memories in the present, good choices that will lead to more of them in the future." Another pitiful answer, but the truest advice he can give. "What were Kianzo and Ru'in like? We can remember the good of them here and now instead of reducing them to shackles to keep upon yourself." She may not intend to dishonor their memory that way, but her guilt is clearly suffocating her.
