Regulus has gone quiet for a bit, trying to make sure he won't cry. "Sometimes, I think it was easier when I was certain I was going to die. When I think about never going home, never seeing anyone again... it hurts. But if I had to do it over, knowing I'd be here, I know I still would."

"Although, it's a bit of a relief to know I won't see my cousin Bellatrix again..." The attempt to lighten the mood slightly is accompanied by a weak smile. "Even if I told her everything I knew about the Dark Lord, I think she'd more likely Crucio me than believe me."
