John was silent a moment, swirling the wine in his
glass. When he finally spoke, his voice contained no
hint of judgement or pity. Perhaps just a touch of
affection. "Why haven't you tried to learn what
happened? If no one was killed, your conscience is
clean. If something did happen, you're young and have
time and perhaps the opportunity to make amends, if
not with them then perhaps with yourself."
