There's a level and heaviness to the kind of honesty that comes when words just tumble out of a person's mouth without thought that's kind of hard to hold. Diego doesn't even know what to say that. Should've. But he didn't. He didn't, and it was gone, and it couldn't be fixed now. That seemed to be a motto as a Hargreeves, honestly.

"I just wish it hadn't taken you so long to realize it." And there's a part of Luther that still holds to all those things so hard sometimes, Diego isn't sure he will ever completely let go of it. He's not sure any of them have, as much as they might like to fool themselves into believing it. They left the place, and they left the man, but they didn't any one of them truly escape everything about the Academy.
