[Caroline doesn't entirely see a difference, either. She wasn't Fitz, that was for damn sure, but from where her Dad had been standing at the time?]
I forgave my Dad a long time ago, Chloe. What he did was terrifying, but he thought he was helping me, in his own way. He'd been taught his entire life that vampires were ruthless, vicious killers and you know what? I had killed someone. And I would kill more people. Maybe I deserved to be in that chair.
[She moves closer to her friend, her expression pleading.]
Forgiving him was easy, but I had to forgive myself, too. No one is perfect because being imperfect is what gives us our humanity. What matters is that you learn from it and you move on.
