[This will hurt her for the rest of the time she is here, but Lightning doesn't lie. Her honesty has cost her a lot already, but lies are unfair.]
She doesn't have to apologise. She made me realize I did something I shouldn't have done at all. I'm sorry. If I could take that night back, I would. I never planned on telling you how I felt at all. I can't ask you to forget it. That'd be impossible. Just know I will never act on it, or mention it again.
I want to be your friend because I think you are a kind, intelligent individual. I enjoy talking to you.

Would it be too much to ask to start over?
