His priorities are just fine, Bakura, 'scuze you. And so are his friends. Tony's frown turns more sullen.
But the second part of Bakura's response takes root a little better. Tony's expression softens to something... not a whole lot less confused, but more thoughtful, at least.
He picks distractedly at his meal, then slowly replies, "I know he cares. I know he wants to change. But I don't know... if that's what matters. I can't just forgive him for everything and trust him no matter what, can I? He keeps messing up and... I'm not the only one he hurts. I don't know how many second chances I can give him. I mean, it's not just about how I feel or how much he cares or if he's good or trustworthy, is it? There's got to be consequences, or justice - or there's no difference between doing something right and doing something wrong."
He gives a frustrated sigh, and puts his head in his hand. "Sorry. I'm not explaining this well. But that's why I wanted to talk to you. Because you're one of the people he hurt. Do you think he deserves another chance?"
