I'm sorry...

Aiden...

Where do I begin?

Well, firstly, I wanted to say I'm sorry... I know I've said it maybe three or fours times (And over a dozen times when I was alone) and, to be frank, this will not be the last time.

I'm sure you're still hurt by the things I said. I never expected this to go as far as it did. Maybe a slower pace (Not sure how that would go), or maybe just me trying to unlearn the social standards I grew up with on Leeds... either could make it work. I'm really not sure how to wrap my head around this whole thing.

I'm still aboard the Normandy, as if that'll ever change. We're currently parked up in Gallia right now, giving our guests the view of the Royal interior through something other than a prison liner window. We'll be heading up through the border worlds, into Gallia proper, then back down and out through Kusari. Once we arrive back in Liberty, I wouldn't mind meeting up. Maybe by then my outlook will have changed.

I'll be thinking back to our talk on Hesperia. A lot. You're a great kid, Aiden. Right now, though, that's all I can think of you as. A kid. I'm sure that by the time we arrive back in Liberty, I'll have changed my outlook on it. Until then, I'm glad we've met. It's been a nice change from the usual drunks and morons I get on my ship.

You've been a great help for me in the last few weeks, Aiden. I can't thank you enough for that.

Stay safe.

Signed,
Robin Gresch

Robin, I'm honestly surprised to hear from you. But I'm no longer sure a relationship or anything of that sort is the right thing for me. You may as well not change your outlook. It's a little too late and not enough at this point for you to say you'll try, when I wanted you to give it thought you gave me a flat out 'no' and I respect that. Although it hurt quite a lot, it gave me a clearer understanding of things.
As much as I did like you, I will no longer be pursuing things further. You can visit and keep in touch, I don't mind. But if you wanted to try you should have been decisive about it. I'm not mad at you, but what hurt the most is that you let a social standard dictate your decision, it's like I didn't matter at all at the time and didn't even factor into the equation of things.
I'm afraid I don't want to go through anything like that again. I know you told me you've never truly been with people and that you've always felt left out, I tried to change that, but all you seemed to do was make me feel like I'm in the same boat.
I'm sorry Robin, I don't think I'll ever be doing what I was willing to try ever again.
