So then why was it a persistent companion that prodded and berated him whenever he thought about his relationship with Meiran? Granted, they hadn't gotten along. Arranged marriage notwithstanding, they weren't a good match, or at least that's what he told himself for the longest time. He was steadfast in solving the growing conflict between Earth and the colonies with diplomacy. After all, violence was for neanderthals who couldn't talk their way out of a cardboard box. He'd put his foot down when Meiran insisted she wanted to fight for their colony, for their clan. He was met with a sneer that promptly forced him to rethink his position as the head of the household. As if you have any say in what I do, she'd said, her voice low and venomous. She fought and she died and somehow Wufei had decided to take her place. The pacifist turned hardened soldier. At first, he'd convinced himself that it was because it was the right thing to do. It wasn't until years later that he realized he'd been driven by the one thing he always refused to acknowledge. Regret was his onus, his burden, and he wore it like a scarlet letter. Regret reminded him that he was fallible. Human.
