No, I think you're right. He certainly wouldn't give piggyback rides for that.
I don't think it's your fault, please don't worry. There were... a lot of things that built up to that fight, and you weren't responsible for any of those.
It did make a lot of people angry, but I don't think it'll happen again. Sometimes when people get the wrong idea about someone, it can make them angry for the wrong reasons. But if they stop and look at the situation, sometimes they realize where that miscommunication happened--and that's when they can figure out how to fix it. Or how to avoid the situation to begin with.
There's been a lot of talking going on, so my hope is that everyone can learn from this.
I noticed you were one of the people that came to watch the fight, weren't you? You should know it's dangerous to be around something like that. Can I ask why you were there? Did you come with someone?
Well, I hope that works out. I'd be happier if everyone wasn't angry forever at each other.
I was kind of curious about how much of Stephen's bragging was true. Also when I showed up some of my friends were there, so that's why I decided to stick around.
Dr. Strange did talk himself up quite a bit, didn't he... But like I said, a fight like that can be dangerous. Especially when weapons start getting flung around. There's really no 'safe' distance when it comes to a fight, so you should be careful about spectating something like that again. Even if your friends are there.

Masaki,
I'll be careful. But Justin's really fast and Gabriel's really good with telekinesis, and they were both looking out for me. I'm sure if the knife had gone at us one of them could have stopped it. I'm not sure what to say about a next time, though, because I hope there won't be a next time. And I guess even if there is they probably won't post on the board if they really don't want people to come.

I don't doubt that they're good people--or at least that they're capable of being good people. Not everyone understands how to find the good in others, so I wouldn't worry what these "other people" think. Mr. Gray and Mr. Law might have questionable backgrounds, but they've been kind to me. And to you, it seems. That's what really matters.
Yeah, the last place I was in taught me to give people a chance the best I could. [That's why she's trying to stay on good terms with John as well, after all.] And I'm very glad I did that. I'm really glad to hear that you agree.
