[but it IS his fault and that's the issue. yuri might not see it that way, might not even blame him, but flynn himself does. no one else exists to blame for it, just like all the other times recently (allowing barbos to escape proper trial, blindly following orders like a puppet, screwing up so bad that his best friend turned to murder not once but twice, allowing alexei to take estellise and now zaude...). no apology in the world could make up for any of that, but to not say it would be worse. this apology isn't the same as one he might give to any citizen, either. those would get fluffed up and fancied up, accompanied with a bow. that would be the knight, the commandant, flynn scifo apologizing.
this isn't that. this apology is genuine, one made by flynn scifo, lower quarter kid who screwed up bad. why can't yuri just accept the fact it was flynn's screw up? well, he won't force him to. the one who suffered the most wasn't him. it was yuri and estellise and karol and everyone else who did. if any of them don't want to talk about it with the one most at fault or even not place blame then they won't be denied that. a moment of silence passes before he nods.]
All right.
[despite flynn agreeing to drop it, his tone of voice clearly implies the guilt still remains.]
