[Beyond everything else, the way Reynir says so directly that there's no point in beating himself up over the past and that now is when they need to change things, that if he dwells on that and is sad when he sees Lalli, Lalli will think he's what's hurting Onni...that cuts through the thick, exhausted fog of guilt and self-hate.]
Letting go of the past is harder to do than it should be. I've always struggled with it.
It's hard to look at the future, too, because I don't know where to go from here. I have no idea what the future holds, and I don't feel like any of it is going to be good. But the least I can do is not make it worse for Lalli now.

Not knowing what the future holds is scary. I get that.
Some of it will be good, Onni. I promise, some of it will be good.

Thank you, Reynir.
