"You haven't done anything yet that needs forgiving." Knives' answer is prompt and flat. "I won't blame you for things you haven't done and may never do. But listen, Vash."

The future is not kind.

"You don't have to take it, but you have an opportunity I never had. If I've moved back in time, if it's still early enough.. make use of my knowledge. If you don't like how things turned out, you have time to change things for the better." Better for who?

But more responsibility, more work.
