I Should Have Said It

The argument was laid out in front of me. The reciepts, all the points, and how they knew. If there was anything I could redo, I'd say, "I'm sorry."

I didn't do that. I denied the blatant truth in front of me and I messed up. I made a fool of myself, I dismissed and invalidated things I shouldn't have, and I still absorb myself in its consequences.

To be fair, I could try to revisit that, try to redeem myself. But who would I be doing that for? For them, as a genuine sorry? Or for me and my ego and my narrative? I have a habit of making myself the main character. And so far, my character hasn't developed to be capable of that just yet.
