[Phone call! To the whole town! Except the drones and the usual meddling authority figures. The call is in a moderately hushed tone, but he's easily understandable.]

So, I see that there are many new people, and you may count yourselves as lucky as you can in this place because Dist the Rose is here to take care of you all. I'm sure you've been informed as to the basics of Mayfield, but I've put together a lovely little primer for just this kind of occasion, giving you all of the details you need to bring you fully up to speed, including the most important things that have been inflicted upon us since the first of us can remember arriving here. If you would like to be informed, then come to the library to pick up a copy. If you can't find it, ask any drone where it is, they'll be able to tell you. Look for a gorgeous man with pale hair; someone as extraordinary as myself will stand out.

[And, just a little louder but no so much so that he's quite up to normal talking level.]

And be sure to pick up your free library card! Knowledge is power and all that.

[And there Dist will be, flitting about, stacking things and shelving things and generally keeping himself busy. He'll also be available to assist anyone who just so happens to be in the library themselves, though every so often he'll have to stop and sit to rest a bit, possibly get down a granola bar outside the view of the head librarian. He can't fit his chair through the door, let alone down the aisles of books, so he's walking everywhere and carrying things and with his condition this tires him out quickly.]

Why should I forgive them? They have absolutely no remorse for the things they did to me. I might, if they apologize.

Forgiving myself? That doesn't even make sense.

"You told me yourself you did an awful thing. Don't you have even a little regret for it?"

Awful is a matter of opinion. And that isn't the point; are you saying I shouldn't regret it, or I should?

"I'm saying you probably should, make amends, do what you can hear, and learn to live. I appreciate the losses you have had in your life, I've lost everything too, and I will likely die upon return to my own time, but bitterness won't solve anything here. I'm not saying you should run around all smiles and joy... just try not to dwell on what you've lost, think about what you can salvage, and do."
