i love redemption arcs so much when they're done right.

i love the concept of "i can never be forgiven this, i can never make this right, but i will spend the rest of my life trying to heal the world as much as i have hurt it." when the characters don't move past their mistakes or cruelty but use it as the driving force for kindness.

because i have harmed i will heal. because i have been cruel i will be kind. because i have hated needlessly i will love recklessly.
