*knock on the dorm door*

Who is it?

... hello, Erlisen, Daybreak

…

How long's it... been for you.

I've been... in Shada for a year

…Why are you here?

To apologise

I... I messed up... I've had a year to think about it and that's only reassured that fact...

How can I trust you really mean it? That this isn’t a trick to get me to let my guard down so I‘ll let you in and you can try to kill us again?

It’s only been a couple days here.

I... don't know really... how would I prove that?

A couple days? That's all?

I don’t know. You almost killed her, Third. That’s more than just messing up.

I didn't realise... I'm sorry, I didn't realise she was just like me

No... no more than me... she's in the Academy, she'll become a Time Lord. She'll regenerate and have lives... I threw that opportunity away. This one life is all I have now...

They took away your regenerations, too? I… I hadn’t realised.

More I... never got them, now never will

Our house weaves without regenerations and awards them only upon graduation

Oh.

…I‘m sorry. Was that why you were so desperate to steal mine?

It doesn’t excuse what you did. Nothing can. And Daybreak isn’t more than you because she can regenerate, because she’ll be a Time Lord. We’re not worth more than anyone else. It was that way of thinking that made you think it would be okay to kill her, because she was just an animal in your eyes.

Yeah it was...

I... but she is worth more than me because... I am an attempted murderer, and she is innocent.

Maybe. But while I may not be ready to forgive you, I would never deny you your dignity or see you as less of a person.

Yeah I... I understand...

...

*the door opens*

*startled and steps back*

E-Erlisen... you d-don't have to...

No, I... I wanted to look you in the eyes. To see if you really mean it when you say you're sorry.

*can hardly bear to look at her*

I'm sorry... I... really am

Okay. I believe you.

Y- *tears up* You do?

*nods*

I... I didn't think you would you had every right not to

You look like you're sorry and I don't think you're that good an actor.

Yeah I... I guess I'm not

@quel-of-the-chancellery-guard

Third has served a full year in Shada

Have them brought back, I‘ll be waiting at the transport capsule.

*nods*

They'll be there.

*waits for @third-plot-device-account to arrive*

I... wasn't sure you'd bother

I made you my personal responsibility.

Even after what I did?

Especially after what you did. I have an interest in making sure you are well rehabilitated.

What for? My life is over, I ruined my chances of ever becoming something

That’s not true. There are plenty of opportunities outside the Academy.

But I'll never be a Time Lord, I'll always just be one of those... outsiders

That isn’t so bad. And you don’t have to become an outsider. Plenty of my men and other Citadel staff aren’t Time Lords.

I'd devoted my whole life to becoming a Time Lord

And then I threw it all away

I... don't know what to do now

You still regret what you did, don’t you?

I've had a whole year... to just think... about how stupid I was

About what I almost did, what I thought I did do...

How little I cared about the life of a fellow Gallifreyan... I was so blinded by anger to Erlisen that I didn't even realise until... I saw your face.

Saw how heartsbroken you were...

Then I suggest you start by apologising to Erlisen and Daybreak. That you tell them what you have realised now.

Yeah... yeah alright, I should

And then we’ll see about organising some kind of education for you, as well as accommodation.

R-really?!

The best preventative measure against youth delinquency is giving them something to do. And it would be cruel to throw you back out on the streets, no matter what you‘ve done.

You're... a better person than I was
