My father always told me that forgiveness was a way of letting go of the resentment you feel towards a pony that's harmed you. That's what I told Misty six months ago when she came to me asking what forgiveness meant.

What I failed to tell her is how brutal the process is.

But when Hitch received a text message from Misty and the three of us visited the Dark Castle and I saw how Misty went through it, I couldn't help but be happy that I was there for her when she needed me most. But when I'm alone in the dark, with nothing else to distract me, I can't help but remember that day all too clearly.
