The Young Man came to the Old Man seeking counsel. ‘I broke something, Old Man.’
‘How badly is it broken?’
‘It’s in a million little pieces.’
‘I’m afraid I can’t help you.’
‘Why?’
‘There’s nothing you can do.’
‘Why?’
‘It can’t be fixed.’
‘Why?’
‘It’s broken beyond repair. It’s in a million little pieces.’

Inky: Consequence is an enormous thing. Regret is immortal. All it takes is a moment, an action, a mixture of words to make something irreparable. Be sure, be very sure – that is your intent.
It can’t be unlived, undone, or unspoken. Ever.
