What's a man gotta do to get a drinkin' buddy around here?

It was very old-fashioned and a place where everyone knew everyone. Which is why I can't go back if I ever do leave this place.

I know what that's like. I made myself a lot of enemies on the outside of these walls too. Stayin' here almost seems safer in a way.

The feeling is mutual. At least I could be surrounded by new faces here... even though I want to see my friends again. Though, even that is a million in a lifetime chance since they probably don't want to see my face ever again.

Why wouldn't they? If they're your friends I reckon they'd be missin' ya about now.

Well, news travels fast in a small village.

I made a foolish mistake that led me to being locked up in here.

You don't think they'd give you a second chance?

No, there's a good chance they won't. Besides, the village will be underwater soon and everyone is moving away.

You'd be surprised how forgiving people can be, love.

[ He knew that better than most people. ]

Underwater?

I was escorted out before they could talk to me, but those faces shhowed those of not wanting to deal with someone like me anymore.

It's going to be part of the dam construction.

I've been on that side of things before. It ain't easy for anyone involved.

[ He appeared a bit remorseful at that thought. ]

They'd bury an entire town just for that?

Is that so? I guess we do have things in common then.

[ She'll sigh, shaking her head at the images popping into her head. It wasn't easy coming to terms of living in this place. ]

Yeah, sadly. There was no members in the head community that opposed so they agreed to have everyone move out before the construction started.

Take it from me, love: forgiveness ain't impossible. It never is.

[ He crossed his arms, the discussion suddenly sitting a little too close to home. ]

That must be real rough.

I really wish I could believe that. I could never take back what I've done and I'm paying for it.

[ The young girl gritted her teeth a bit, the memories coming back once more. All she ever wanted was to be happy. To be with her friends and family as well as continue life before the damn construction was ever mentioned. It was nearly too much to handle. ]

Yes, that it is. They'll start construction soon I believe.

Takin' back the past isn't what matters. What matters is acceptin' ya made a mistake and movin' on from it. People can sense change in others, and if they're people worth havin' in your life then they'll learn to move on too.

[ It was kind of funny how he was giving her the very advice he needed to hear. ]

I'm really sorry.
