Gley's Regret

I know I can't blame Ajax.

Instead, I know I should be grateful to him for actively helping me out. Even so, when I see his face, I'm reminded of Dia.

For better or worse, Ajax was a competent instructor, and a skilled teacher. Under his tutelage, Dia blossomed as a soldier. And yet, I blame him for his aptitude because my heart is broken, filled with selfish and vile thoughts.

And this is why I find his competence unfortunate. No, what's unfortunate is my inability to save Dia.

His competence is a stark contrast on my incompetence.

My mistakes on that day, my mistakes at that moment, my own misery… are being projected onto him.

Ajax… you foolish man… On the day I get Dia back, I'll apologize to you for everything. Until then, please accept my resentment.
