[video] unresolved issues
[ From the gaming car, it's Kaiba. He's taken to tying his orange hoodie around his waist and popping the collar of his orange polo, in an effort to maintain the dramatic silhouette he loves so much. ]
Does it bother anyone else that the only glue holding this tiny slice of society together is the fact that we're trapped in a claustrophobia-inducing tin can rattling through the interdimensional void?
Think about it. We're from all walks of life. All different social structures. Predators and prey, haves and have-nots, all together and brought down to size. Homogenous societies themselves don't have a great track record of avoiding division and war, so the only thing keeping our tiny tube afloat and relatively at peace is the fact that there's no escape should we cause a big enough disruption.
Can alliances forged under these conditions truly be called genuine? Is it really what you call friendship, if such a thing exists? Or family? Would you accept someone who would be your enemy in any other circumstance? Who's committed unforgivable acts, and is still capable of doing so? Somehow I doubt it.

I'm surprised your love withstood that. But I'm sure they're grateful, if they've ever managed to forgive themselves.

They are my family. [ She says simply ]
The sons that I bore, the husband to whom I promised forever. If I do not forgive them, do I not do little but promote hate? If I do not forgive them, I will never be able to move on, never be able to forgive myself, that I could not stop them.
[ She smiles sadly ] Three of my sons are here, and my husband also. You can ask them if they have forgiven themselves, but I think I know the answer.
[ Maglor hides from the world, and Maedhros blames himself. Feanor throws himself into proving, again and again, that he has learnt from his mistakes. Only Curufin smiles, and Nerdanel suspects he hides much in his heart ]

Maybe there's something to that idea.

Hate only begets more hate. [ And all her millenia of living is in her eyes ]
There is no healing on that road.
