Things have finally calmed for a moment and given me time to come to the realization that I failed. I couldn't explain why this bothers me; it should be simple enough to move on from such a mistake, yet I find myself unable to shake the thoughts completely. I think that there should have been something done differently at Radient Garden to keep the keybearers further away and it seems only now that I can consider these things. I believe that, ultimately, the fault for Xemnas' injuries lies on my own shoulders for failing to properly do what had been asked of me but I would not assume to also believe that I 'feel' regret for it. The thought--the acknowledgement--simply lingers despite my best efforts to forget about it and that, I think, is truly what bothers me.

It's quite frustrating and I'm not quite certain I understand it.
