There's someone I admired for a bit. I thought she was really cool, she was really smart, and knew more about what I was doing than I did. I was so excited to work with her.
It turned out, she was cruel. She was bitter and hated just about all of us. She had no problem killing any of us if it meant getting what she wanted. She stole from others with a grin on her face.
Even so... I still think about the kinder senpai that I had met once. I wonder if that cruel person only came out because it was me, or if I could have done anything else to help her.
Should I have accepted that wasn't who she was, or should I have still tried to patch things up?
If someone acts one way and you learn that they're actually something else, the best thing to do is to accept their personality. "Patch things up" is not necessarily the right turn of phrase, but rather... understanding them more?
[ Give her a couple minutes. It. Makes really good sense. ]
Understand, but not commit to liking it. It might have been a good idea to talk to you after all.
[ Even though she already made that commitment. Oops. ]
Well, in her case, it's too late for that. Even if I see her again, I can't imagine that she'd know who I am, so I'd have to bury that feeling as long as I can.
I guess too, you understand if there's no hard feelings if you have any skeletons hiding in your closet?

She's not going to remark on that right now, but she sure is keeping that delayed response in the back of her pocket. ]
Right.
Well, I can't give vague advice because each circumstance would be different, honestly.

Don't worry about me, though. I'm very much a "no skeletons allowed" in my closet. Except for the living ones.

Anyway. Please keep me posted on how he's doing. Sorry again to dump this on your lap.
