what is your greatest failure ? have you grown from it or does it still haunt you ?

        “ bold of you to assume i have ever deigned to fail, ” he says wryly, tipping his chair back onto two legs. quincy, his mind supplies helpfully, and he swipes it away with a swift internal flick. “ i’ve always though that failure was rather unattractive, so i decided against participating in the concept as a whole. ” quincy, it urges, and the smug look on his face slips for a millisecond. quincy, it repeats for a third time, taking advantage of his momentary hesitation. quincy would be alive if it wasn’t for you. “ considering my position on the first question, the second seems rather irrelevant, don’t you think ? ”

What is your greatest failure? Have you grown from it or does it still haunt you? 

      “ i always wondered what my life would have been like if i hadn’t given up on the force. ” saying it out loud carried a special kind of weight.  he knew, deep down, it hadn’t been the right home for him, and yet, the abandonment of a life long dream seemed like a failure.  it was the first time in his life zo had ever quit everything; the concept just wasn’t in his bones.  even if it’d brought him to a better place, it would forever eat at the back of his mind.
