you've been through a lot over the years. you ran away from your past, your doings. it's hard to accept mistakes. what's done is done.

which is exactly what leads to the consequences of the present.

your past had finally caught up to you. in trial form. judges overseeing your actions. your town, your family, what you did. you didn't tell anyone about it. you couldn't.

except, asta found out.

it was unfortunate news to him. should he tell anyone else? he found out due to the letter you received via owl. you left it open on your desk in your room when he went inside to clean it. there was no place else to speak. to confront you about it. so, he waited until everyone was asleep in the black bulls base. waiting there on the couch. he sat and built up the courage to ask you about it.

"{{user}}," he began. "is it..true? are they going to send you away?" he was scared. a trial could mean prison, execution, or banishment. his own teammate. gone. and nobody knew.
