“Will you forgive me?”
“Yes”
Forgiveness… what is that? What does it mean to forgive someone? What does it mean to be forgiven?
How do you explain forgiveness to someone who doesn’t know how to forgive?
To someone who answers “yes” automatically like a robot programmed to answer that whenever someone asks the question?
What does forgiving feel like?
Is it as though what happened never occurred?
Or is it as though you are helping the person continue on with their life as if they never did anything to you that required forgiving?
How does it feel like to be forgiven?
Is it as though you have been set free from a burden of some sort?
How does forgiving feel like? The emotionless me doesn’t know.
How does being forgiven feel like? The emotionless me doesn’t know.
So now, you are standing in front of me once more. Asking that question that has no meaning to me and receiving the same answer that has no effect on me.
“Will you forgive me?”
“Yes”
Why do people ask such a meaningless question? Why do they want to hear that meaningless answer? I fear I will never understand.
They shall never stop. They will continue to hurt you that question and answer have no real meaning in this world.
So I, who does not know how to forgive and be forgiven, wonder: what should I do in a world where everyone expects you to forgive?
So I look at you once more, the person asking for my forgiveness, again. But now my answer is truthful.
“I’m sorry. Will you forgive me?”
“To forgive is to forget. Thus when I have forgotten you will be forgiven. But asking if I have forgotten will only make me remember. Thus you shall never know when I have forgotten.
Thus you shall never know when you are forgiven.”
“Yes”

Unfortunately, this is true for me. I don't know how any emotions feel like, with the exception of brief fear, sadness, panic, and happiness. They only last a moment. The only one which can last for minutes at a time is panic. Fear is a close runner-up. Sadness and happiness are next with less than a minute, and the rest are none existent.
It is a very long story of why I lost my emotions, but once I used to be able to feel. But now...
Anyway... I should be able to upload some chapters in a bit plus I hope to upload the first chapter of one of my newest story.
