I just... wanted to apologize to you. I've been causing you some trouble, and I thought it was necessary at the time, but... I was selfish and afraid, and in my fear, I reached for a heavy-handed solution to a problem that didn't merit one. I tried to control someone else to soothe my own worries...

I'm sorry, Emi. I made you promise something that wasn't fair to you in any way, and at the end of the day, I'm not even sleeping any better. Not that it's your fault. I... ugh. I'm rambling. Don't mind me. I just wanted to tell you I'll butt out of things that aren't my business.
