Guess what? It’s Wednesday, and I’m back, baby!

Or at least, Five Stages of Rectification is back, with a fresh update! It’s a straight road to the finish line now -the fic is sitting finished in my docs and I’m set for another couple weeks of posting, until -believe it or not- completion. (Or dare I say… Acceptance?)

This chapter is about forgiveness. It’s also, a depression chapter.

The thesis of this fic has always been that there are things that can’t be fixed, but that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t try. And there has been a whole lot of trying to fix -but sometimes, there is also facing things that are irreparably broken.

So… This chapter is about forgiveness.

Clu finds he has forgiven his User -the way a wound heals when you stop cutting it open anew.

Tron does not forgive himself -so why should he forgive anyone else?

Flynn does not think he deserves forgiveness -but being denied it still hurts.

Sam wants to forgive. But can you forgive a hurt you won’t even acknowledge?

Quorra does not want to forgive. (Perhaps, more than anything, she is afraid that she might.)

In short: this is DEPRESSION (ACCEPTANCE).

Enjoy the ride! (ノ◕ヮ◕)ノ*:・゚✧
