E-mail to Amanda

Amanda,

I don't think Rahne meant that we can't ever make up for what we've done. What she was trying to get at was that we're all already saved if we only want to be - that's the whole point of the Crucifixion, that He took our sins on his shoulders - and that means that if we can completely atone, it's saying there was no need for Him to do that. But that's no reason not to try.

I'm not sure I believe the same things she does, and I know you're not religious and all this is a matter of faith. But she didn't mean we can't be forgiven, either way. And I'm probably explaining this wrong, so I'll just forward you some e-mails between me and Rahne last night. I hope it helps you understand.

Oh, no, that's not what I meant. Just trying to say... you're not alone. To quote Paul, there's more than one of us here walking through the shadow on our own time.

The bad days always come every once in awhile, but they always go away again too. Everyone needs something to cling to, to get them through, and not letting Rack win is as good a thing as any. Hold on to that with both hands.

I just can't seem to say what I mean today, and I'm upsetting everyone I care about. I think I should just do what I said I was going to do and get away from this damn machine and go get some fresh air. Christ, I wish I could just get away from this insanity for just a day or two.

You haven't upset me. I promise. But you do what you need to do - I'll be here if you need company. I hope I didn't upset you, either? 'Cause I never meant to.
