He can't forgive you, because you aren't the person who hurt him, Jedao says firmly.
Not really. You know it. And he's not letting himself know it, and just because that's probably fucking with him even worse than it's fucking with you, that doesn't make it any better.
Jedao strokes his hand through Edwin's hair.
You've done exactly right. It's not yours to fix, Sunshine. I'm going to talk to him, okay?
When Jedao says he can't forgive you, Edwin starts to tense.
But then the rest of it comes out.
Because you aren't the person who hurt him.
Edwin gives a tiny little gasp, the sound like an inhalation after held breath. Tension drops out of him all at once, and-- yeah he's just going to cry really hard for a little bit.
