[He might be rambling a little but excuse him, he is, in fact, old and also spent a lot of his very long life alone.
It's true sometimes, that silence becomes unbearable when all you can hear are your own thoughts. It's exceedingly true in a place that reminds you of your first failure, the one that precipitated all of the others and led you down the darkest path you vowed to never walk again.]
It's a lesson I had to learn the hard way. You can't save people who don't want to be saved.
But I still think that if you see someone suffering, you should be kind and try to help. I don't think it was wrong of me to try. I was just too young and too certain of my own importance to know any better.
... I'm sorry, I must be boring you with all of this. You didn't even ask. It's just that this place brought back some very old memories that I apparently haven't made my peace with as much as I thought.
