[After the events of the previous week, the mature thing to do would have been to would have been to take the awkward stares and deliver his humble apologies like a man. Yet after spending a week steeped in the most negative emotions he'd indulged in even the darkest of fantasies, it was easier to keep to himself.

He'd been spending quite a bit of time along the southeastern banks of the river running outside the village, staying outdoors to avoid the all-encompassing yet entirely oppressive forgiveness that awaited him at home. He would make amends and pay his dues in time, but for now, there was still the matter of coping with what was within him that the experiment had tapped to affect his actions.

The man lying faceup on the riverbank would still be visibly bruised despite sharing living space with a mage proficient in the healing arts. He'd been grateful to have been pulled from the precipice of death, yes, but wished to let the tender achy muscles, dark bruises, and angry gashes heal on their own as penance. It was in this way that he watched the sky begin to darken, chronicling the sun's slow journey towards rest.]

I know you wouldn't. I would never suspect you of something so foolish. [Though he hadn't earned, nor did he deserve her forgiveness, hers was the one he greedily hungered for most. He hugged her, resting his forehead upon hers.] I... [He faltered, lacking the words to express the jumble of emotions weighing upon him.] Bless you, Rosa.

[Of course he wouldn't. This Cecil, the one she knew and loved, would trust her. It made her smile a little, even! His faltering was sort of adorable.] I love you as well, Cecil. [...well, assuming that's what he was trying to say.]

[Lovely, kind, and psychic. Rosa was the best wife ever. Spared from the messiness of having to express himself verbally, he simply held her close to him and kissed her, letting his body speak the words over which he stumbled.]

[This was better than him calling her terrible names, or doing even worse things to her. It didn't take her long to put her arms around him in return, as well as return his kiss to her. Definitely better than before.]
