[That small backwards step hurt as much as if he'd been stabbed by the boy. He stayed where he stood, the one hand not resting against his cane half raised as if he was about to plead with the boy.]

I didn't bring you here, Bae. I didn't even bring myself here. I'm sorry that I let you go, I was wrong. You were right, son. I was a coward. And I've regretted what I did every single moment since I did it. Ever since you left...I've been looking for you, I thought I lost you forever, but you're here now. I know I can't make up for the past, for the lost time. All I can do, is to ask you to do what you've always done. And that's to be the bigger man...and forgive me. Please, Bae. I don't want to lose you again.
