[Hashtag does not get this message immediately, because she is not using her brain to connect directly to the network. After what happened she doesn't want to cause anymore trouble. But when she does see it, she almost answers right then. Because she's been wanting to talk to him so badly, to hear what he had to say. But she stops, because she realizes she doesn't know what to say. How to express her feelings.

What would Mom say? She always has the right words and knows exactly how to get what she means across and be so very grown up about things.

So it takes her some time. But she does answer after she's talked herself in circles and then tried to boost herself up.]

Thank you. For your apology. That does not make it okay, but I believe you say you will do better. I know you're not like that anymore, but now you need to show everyone else. I forgive you.

[After that bit of maturity the confidence crumples just a little.]

Please...don't ever hurt anyone like that over me. Especially not my friends.
