@Oneironott I was teasing only, not meaning to be a mean critic <3
It looks haunting with it’s clipped claws devoid of use and ability, grasping for something which the world forgot. It feels right, though, and you fastening a roof of leaves between the statue’s fingers. By dark, the luminescence of the forest created a dim but peaceful light, and the nocturnal sounds fill your senses. It is safe. The forest is always safe your kind. Perhaps not the long gone creatures whose buildings and statues the forest eats.
The forest at night echoes with dreams of all creatures flowing through the roots of the tall trees. Your lover and you decided to top by dusk at the runes of a statue that looks like the hand of a species you have never seen before covered in moss and vines. The hand’s claws are clipped at the tips of their digits and no fur adorns it, only flesh. it sits grasping at something long since reclaimed by the woods.
@Oneironott Runes or ruins? Tho the former makes this story more interesting, not less :V

On Abuse (3)
The big thing however: Even if someone IS willing to change their behavior -- there is never ANY reason to insist that you should forgive them for the abuse they inflicted upon you. Sure, they might be changed and apologetic, but they still hurt you. And quite frankly, if they hurt you for long enough with unchecked behaviors, that might have corrupted the way you two interact because it's just become ingrained.
Abuse is just awful & insidious.
On Abuse (2)
However, manipulative abusers will act apologetic when pushed into a corner only, and then just get more subtle or find different targets that others don't care about.
If someone abuses others that they don't have to treat well, and treat people differently based on what they can get away with (example: shoving around someone they know will put up with it), that's a really big red flag.
On Abuse (1)
Abuse is so prevalent that many people don't even realize what abuse they're putting up with. If you grow up around abusers and manipulators, you learn how to survive among abusers and manipulators and can take their actions as normal
And it's not like people can't abuse, feel bad for it, and want to change. But serial abusers make a pattern for it.
