loyal_cube | ✪ Aftermath! Another apology another day! ✪ [Video/Text]

[Cube doesn't make eye contact with the camera as he speaks, almost as if he were a shy child. However, his voice is soft and sad. Still, he pushes the words out as he knows they need to be said. Everything is then repeated in text.]

I'd like to make an announcement. In a previous post I had stated I was going to charge for medical assistance, including chip removals, and allow people to disregard any medical paperwork. Unaware to most, it was not actually I who made these claims.

There will never be a charge for medical attention or for chip removals under my supervision. I apologize for any issues this brings up and will address concerns on a case-to-case basis. If you did indeed make a deal with the one posing as me, then please advise me of so and I'll do by best to return any property of yours or something sufficient in case it was not something that can be physically returned.

I'm truly sorry to those who were harassed and humiliated. Some of the incidents I'm aware of, while others I may not. Either way, I assure you I will do what I can to prevent such an event from ever happening again.

Thank you for assisting in the return of my body. I owe you a great deal. If there is anything I can do, anything at all, please let me know. I'll do my best to make it up to you somehow.

I wish to speak to you. I can't recall what Soraoto may have said while acting as me, but if you wouldn't mind, I'd like to know if you recall who I am or anything about this world prior to three weeks ago. If not, then please disregard this message, if you wish.

[Locked 50% to Luke]
You don't need to respond if you don't wish to. I hope you're safe and well. I'm sorry for everything Soraoto has put you through. I regret ever introducing him to you and wish there were some way to reverse what he has done. Even if you don't trust me, I hope you don't immediately distrust other demons because of Soraoto and I. You're a fine young gentleman, and I will respect any actions you take towards me as long as they're only towards me and Soraoto and not any others.

I'll understand if you needn't wish to speak with me but I wish you're well. I'm sorry for the humiliation you were forced to endure while I was possessed. I hope you can forgive me for failing to help you. In the event this situation has changed your mind about being int he medical field, I ask you please let me know. i will respect your wishes and will not hold anything against you.

[Locked 50% to Marco]
Thank you for keeping Soraoto occupied for a while. I'm glad you saw through his trick. I'm sorry you had to go through so much trouble, though. Please advise me how to repay you for your efforts.

[A sigh of relief]

I'm quite glad someone figured it out. I-I hope I never come off as rude as he did.

You have no reason to apologize. I completely understand. I was furious too, b-but there was little I could do.

I thank you so much. I-I don't know if there will be man others who will not hold blame against me. I certianly wouldn't hold it against them but... i-it's difficult. Specially when some don't even believe in demons.

If there's one thing I don't have time for it's holding misplaced grudges of anger at people who don't deserve it. You weren't in control. I've no reason and no right to be angry at you.

If you have a way of removing chips, I'd be happy to offer you services in exchange if you need it. But it was the way the one who had control of you was going on that ticked me off.

Some people can only give of themselves once their powers and such are restored.

[He pauses for a moment, then turns on his video, showing what he is.]

Considering what I am and what I've seen, I have no right to not believe in a lot of things.

It's not that I don't understand why he did it, it's just how he went about things and involving others in such a horrible way... I'll never forgive him.

I'm unable to remove them right now. I need to rest at least a week for my leg to heal before I dare operate on anyone. But I will not make you do anything in exchange, except promise to take good care of yourself and others, if possible.

[He smiles at the familiar face.]

That's a good thing. You're strong enough to keep your mind open and not close your eyes and ears to what's around you. So many reuse to believe that which is in front of them.

[He looks visibly concerned for a moment.]

How were you injured? Did people have to attack you to stop the demonic possession in the end?

[He grits his teeth.]

Sometimes reality isn't good enough. Sometimes escaping into fantasy is all people can do to keep them sane.

I've known people, good people, who've deluded themselves into being able to do things others would argue against. I'm not at all surprised there are people still insisting on blaming you or holding anger toward you. Sometimes being able to cry "demon" is too convenient for those who've been hurt.

I, at least, can understand the hardships of both sides.

I was shot in my thigh with an arrow. B-But please don't worry about it! I'm quite alright. In the end, it has worked out.

Y-Yes. Two people came to my rescue... though, I'm not sure how much longer Soraoto had left in my body. His power was seeming to fade but- [So was his strength but he'll not mention that] I'm grateful they came.

It's frustrating but at the same time if I realize that's the case, I try not to bother them or worry about it... though, it's difficult.

Yes. It's a burden in itself. [Hated by some humans for being a demon. Hated by some demons for helping humans. Hated by some Angels for being Demon and aiding humans, and Fairies just don't give a ffff.]

Shot---nhn... [He shuts up upon hearing not to worry, but he does anyway. He can't help it. It's just who he is at his core to worry about others.]

...look. Let me tell you this right now just so we're clear:

I don't hate you. I understand and respect you even more for letting everyone know what happened even at the risk of being attacked more for "having an excuse."

I know how painful it is to be the odd man out, not accepted by your own kind or those you closely resemble... so...

I guess if you need someone to talk to...

[He trails off.]

[He hasn't ever really felt the need to talk with anyone about any of these things. It was a price to pay for being where he was...]

[But Cube smiles lightly.]

Thank you, Michelangelo. You may do the same, if you ever need someone to speak with.

I may take you up on that offer.
