Heyo I think your speech was very well written, thank you! Also I like how the finalists have matching last sentences asdfgh it's kinda cute. Maybe that’s just me. Anyways, I just wanted to give some clarifications as well as reinforce what you said about my game!

You are absolutely right that I completely failed to talk to you the whole season, I'm not denying that at all, though I do want to apologize for never initiating conversation with you and making it seem like I didn’t care. The thing that I wanted to clarify is that the reason why I never talked to you. It wasn't because I couldn't care less that you were there, if anything it was the opposite? I’ll try to explain.

The tribal council subsequent to post-mutiny, when we first met in-game, ended with a failed attempt at a blindside and Aromal trying to get away with lying that you voted Jon. The tribe chat got pretty wild and I was impressed by the way you were able to address Aromal in front of everyone and stand up for yourself. It also made me very intimidated. I felt guilty because Aromal was the closest person to me at the time, and while I wasn’t responsible really for his actions, I still wanted to work with him, and that made me feel like I shouldn’t really be talking to you due to guilt of association. The tribe felt tense afterwards, at least to me. When merge came around and you had told me that we could possibly work together, I was ecstatic, but there was a big argument in the Thotemanu chat where I actually did end up butting heads with you, or maybe you didn’t perceive it as such but I was talking to you and felt really heated, probably coming off as angry. After that, I felt bad and didn’t know if trying to talk to you was going to work out. I never ignored your existence or acted like you weren’t there, I thought your gameplay was really interesting and wild and cool, a great case if you made it to the end - definitely why I had voted you out.

Aaaa I didn’t mean for this to get so drawn out, I’m sorry ;w; My explanation isn’t meant to be an excuse, but rather just some insight from my perspective. In the end, I own up to the fact that I should have tried and I should have taken the chance! Talking is worlds better than not, and that really is my bad.  Yeah that’s all I wanted to say, thank you again for your speech!
