[If he couldn't feel the remorse coming off of his brother Vash would think Knives was enjoying this with the way her presents his foot to him.] It's okay, Knives. You're doing great. [He silently encourages his brother as he leans forward and kisses that boot. There is no shame at all coming from Vash. He sees no reason to feel ashamed for doing what he must to survive.] I am sorry. I beg for you to forgive me.

[The man continues to nod.] I think having your brother here will be a good thing for you, Vash. We might finally see some progress with you yet.
