Funny. That's how all my ‘return-speech’ drafts started. You know, what I was gonna say to everyone when I came home, and they all got on their knees and started begging for forgiveness and offering me everything...and I’d make it clear what I really wanted from them all before I’d forgive them. If I forgave them, I was gonna make them grovel and ''prove'' themselves first. I imagine that was what was going through ''your'' head at first.\\
But here’s the thing. The girl who drafted those speeches, the one who wrote that email? She was ''never'' going to get off the train. My journey wasn’t just about realizing how special and unappreciated I am, and how I needed to believe in myself and become stronger. It was about realizing how responsible ''I'' was for my own situation; how my attitude, biases and selfishness hurt everyone around me. How ''I'' needed to be better just as much as they did. So when they asked for forgiveness and a second chance...I would’ve heard them out, and given some apologies of my own.\\
Let me tell you what I truly wanted to come home to. I didn’t need parades or a party or a massive show of penance...I just wanted another chance to have my ''life''. The life I always ''wished'' I had. Picture it if you can.\\
I get up in the morning, and the Cerise Family has breakfast together. We talk for a bit, and Mom gives me a hug and a packed lunch just before I head to school. Dad gives me a ride, and we talk about...I don’t know, normal father-daughter things. His work, my assignments, how I’m doing, stuff like that. Maybe even a little argument. But Dad’s talking to me like a normal person, and that’s all that matters.\\
At the school...Goh’s there. He’s... ''happy'' to see me. He’s just ''happy''. The same confident, ambitious, eager kid I met back at camp, just a little older and smarter and paying more attention to me. Not obsessive, just...enough to show I’m ''important'' to him. \\
I have classes like normal, treated fairly like a normal student. I show Mr. Pepper just how good I am at cooking, and Coach Zee and...Yeardley just how good I am at softball. At lunch I hang out with Goh and Akemi...hell, maybe even a classmate or two who’s learned their lesson. Maybe we sneak out to that ice-cream place I love by the school.\\
I come back home, return to my dad’s lab...if I’m still working there, I’m actually ''helping'' out. And when Ash comes in and suggests I join him and Goh on a research trip tomorrow...I accept. Doesn’t matter if it’s going to be a big adventure or not. That night, me and Goh and Ash and you just sit together and watch movies, or swap stories, or...maybe I just gush about my favorite created character ever, my Specter of the Black Forest. While Ash’s mom cooks for us and is actually happy to see me.\\
(Holding back her tears) But I. Can’t. Do. ANY. Of that now. I can’t even set foot in the town I grew up in. A town that I, we ''both'' , took for granted.\\
And all that is just how you hurt ''me'' by accident. Side-effects of how you hurt ''everybody'' else on ''purpose'' .\\

In the previous story, they were labeled [[TheDreaded the absolute worst thing on the Train]], with everyone calling them out over their supposed crimes and Denizen wheeling ways. However, when [[WebAnimation/HazbinHotel Charlie and Vaggie]] investigate these delegations, they find out that not only were most of what they heard [[MaliciousSlander hearsay created to make them look bad]], but an overwhelming number of said crimes were done ''[[CrimeOfSelfDefense out of self-defense]]'', something that none of the other antagonistic Denizens and Passengers (including Paul London, one of their biggest critics) can claim.

Funny. That's how all my ‘return-speech’ drafts started. You know, what I was gonna say to everyone when I came home, and they all got on their knees and started begging for forgiveness and offering me everything...and I’d make it clear what I really wanted from them all before I’d forgive them. If I forgave them, I was gonna make them grovel and ''prove'' themselves first. I imagine that was what was going through ''your'' head at first.\\
But here’s the thing. The girl who drafted those speeches, the one who wrote that email? She was ''never'' going to get off the train. My journey wasn’t just about realizing how special and unappreciated I am, and how I needed to believe in myself and become stronger. It was about realizing how responsible ''I'' was for my own situation; how my attitude, biases and selfishness hurt everyone around me. How ''I'' needed to be better just as much as they did. So when they asked for forgiveness and a second chance...I would’ve heard them out, and given some apologies of my own.\\
Let me tell you what I truly wanted to come home to. I didn’t need parades or a party or a massive show of penance...I just wanted another chance to have my ''life''. The life I always ''wished'' I had. Picture it if you can.\\
I get up in the morning, and the Cerise Family has breakfast together. We talk for a bit, and Mom gives me a hug and a packed lunch just before I head to school. Dad gives me a ride, and we talk about...I don’t know, normal father-daughter things. His work, my assignments, how I’m doing, stuff like that. Maybe even a little argument. But Dad’s talking to me like a normal person, and that’s all that matters.\\
At the school...Goh’s there. He’s... ''happy'' to see me. He’s just ''happy''. The same confident, ambitious, eager kid I met back at camp, just a little older and smarter and paying more attention to me. Not obsessive, just...enough to show I’m ''important'' to him. \\
I have classes like normal, treated fairly like a normal student. I show Mr. Pepper just how good I am at cooking, and Coach Zee and...Yeardley just how good I am at softball. At lunch I hang out with Goh and Akemi...hell, maybe even a classmate or two who’s learned their lesson. Maybe we sneak out to that ice-cream place I love by the school.\\
I come back home, return to my dad’s lab...if I’m still working there, I’m actually ''helping'' out. And when Ash comes in and suggests I join him and Goh on a research trip tomorrow...I accept. Doesn’t matter if it’s going to be a big adventure or not. That night, me and Goh and Ash and you just sit together and watch movies, or swap stories, or...maybe I just gush about my favorite created character ever, my Specter of the Black Forest. While Ash’s mom cooks for us and is actually happy to see me.\\
(Holding back her tears) But I. Can’t. Do. ANY. Of that now. I can’t even set foot in the town I grew up in. A town that I, we ''both'' , took for granted.\\
And all that is just how you hurt ''me'' by accident. Side-effects of how you hurt ''everybody'' else on ''purpose'' .\\
Parker, don’t say ‘it was for me’. Doing things for me that went wrong is dad keeping me away from bullies at the lab. You went ''way'' beyond that, and in the end, it was for you, not me. I never wanted this retribution, no mental or physical trauma for everyone I know, and you ''knew this''.\\
Yes, that ''includes'' Sara and Yeardley. Were they mean? Yes? Did I hate what they were doing? YES. Did I want them brutally tortured? Absolutely NOT.\\
(Taking a deep breath) Ash, Serena and Trip...they’re okay now, but Ash’s mom hates me. And I’m still waiting for the other shoe to drop, for something to flare up and get ugly. Dad’s gotta work even more now, so he’s got less time to help me. There’s a massive bunch of baggage with the lab assistants and my classmates and everyone in Vermillion that I shouldn’t have had to shoulder...I have to ask ''their'' forgiveness while they’re asking ''mine'', but nobody wants to say it. And there are ''plenty'' of people online and in Vermillion who wish I was ''dead'' because of what’s happened to our hometown. Not even saving twenty students from a maniac is enough to erase everything.\\
And then there’s ''Goh''. What I wanted, ''all'' I wanted, was a better friend, who still had his dreams and happiness but was also there for me as well. Instead, I come home to an ''empty glass shell'' wearing his face, too scared to look at me...scared to tell ''anyone'' that his dream had come true.\\
'''Parker:''' Wh-what?\\
Oh yeah. Ms. Turner had a Mew being held captive, and Goh ''rescued'' her. And then I come home, ready to start again...I...he...after he goes through some of the ''worst'' possible things that no child should ever go through, the universe takes a moment to ''smile'' on him...and he thinks that he has to ''atone'' for it! And now that glass shell is on the Train for who knows how long, with his parents and his friends scared to death that...that something is going to happen to him... something bad... \\
And almost all of this comes back to '''you.'''\\
In a way, I’m responsible for causing you to become this way. I...I should’ve never gotten you into my hobbies before you were ready. I shouldn’t have made you see me violently assault Sara like that. You should never have been attacked or heard how my former classmates loved bullying me...but we both know that things could have been better if we told dad or mom sooner. If we told ''everything'' ...they would’ve helped us both.\\
But ''you’re'' responsible for everything you chose to do, and what you did was ''heinous''. We’ll all be paying for it for ''years'' at the very least.
'''Chloe:''' No. It’s ''your'' turn to listen to ''me''.\\
Funny. That's how all my ‘return-speech’ drafts started. You know, what I was gonna say to everyone when I came home, and they all got on their knees and started begging for forgiveness and offering me everything...and I’d make it clear what I really wanted from them all before I’d forgive them. If I forgave them, I was gonna make them grovel and ''prove'' themselves first. I imagine that was what was going through ''your'' head at first.\\
But here’s the thing. The girl who drafted those speeches, the one who wrote that email? She was ''never'' going to get off the train. My journey wasn’t just about realizing how special and unappreciated I am, and how I needed to believe in myself and become stronger. It was about realizing how responsible ''I'' was for my own situation; how my attitude, biases and selfishness hurt everyone around me. How ''I'' needed to be better just as much as they did. So when they asked for forgiveness and a second chance...I would’ve heard them out, and given some apologies of my own.\\
Let me tell you what I truly wanted to come home to. I didn’t need parades or a party or a massive show of penance...I just wanted another chance to have my ''life''. The life I always ''wished'' I had. Picture it if you can.\\

* HanlonsRazor: In the Darkest Day, during her EurekaMoment, Chloe finally stumbles upon a connecting factor between a lot of the actions that shaped the ''Blossomverse'': Goh getting so hung up over a misunderstanding with [[BirdsOfAFeather Tokio]], only to take ''[[ChildhoodFriend her]]'' friendship for granted; Tokio letting the [[GuiltComplex guilt]] for that incident drive him onto the Train, when [[PoorCommunicationKills he could have reconnected with Goh with a phone call or a train to Vermillion City]]; [[AllLovingHero Ash Ketchum]] being so helpless in connecting with Chloe, and instead let her turn him into [[FeelingOppressedByTheirExistence an icon of resentment]]; Trip [[BeAsUnhelpfulAsPossible barging onto the scene like a Tauros in a china shop]], when he really ''did'' [[JerkWithAHeartOfGold want Ash, and to a lesser extent Goh, to learn from their mistakes]]; [[FelonyMisdemeanor Yeardley joking about being a "work in progress" in class]]; and ''Chloe's'' CharacterDevelopment having to result in [[AesopCollateralDamage her loved ones being traumatized]] and [[HatedByAll her hometown hating her]]? To put it quite simply, it was ''because they were all children.'' They kept encountering situations that they didn't know how to handle and kept making mistakes because they didn’t know better. Most of the players in this game [[RousseauWasRight really did have good intentions]], even if their actions made it seem otherwise. Even those individuals who ''were'' malicious weren't [[BeyondRedemption one dimensional monsters that couldn't be redeemed.]] The [[KidsAreCruel bullies of Class 5-E]] ''were'' [[FreudianExcuseIsNoExcuse inexcusably cruel]] to Chloe, but that rose out of being DrivenByEnvy and believing LonersAreFreaks. If they had received better instruction on what being a Trainer was actually like, and [[SelectiveObliviousness allowed themselves to get a better picture]] of Chloe and what her life was like, who knows how things might have turned out? As for Chloe and Parker Cerise, ''[[TheReasonYouSuckSpeech their]]'' [[ColdBloodedTorture malicious actions]] came about when they ''ignored'' the Razor and assumed malicious intentions from ''everyone'' in Vermillion City. Subconsciously, Chloe believed that [[MiseryPoker her trauma]] ''[[MiseryPoker had]]'' [[MiseryPoker to be something massive and horrible]], so she could make sense of both the hurt ''she'' felt and [[PlayingTheVictimCard the hurt she inflicted upon others as catharsis]].

** In the "interview" during the Darkest Day, Vox And Dahlia reveal the extent of Chloe's past cruelty, spitefulness, and emotionally abusive behavior, leaving both [[ReformedBully Gard and Julie]] appalled and disgusted with Chloe. Everyone else on the Train who knew her as a nice girl who could do no wrong starts going through a BrokenPedestal moment as they all learn how Chloe treated her family and friends back in Vermillion City. But the crowner comes from Goh, who gives her a tearful TheReasonYouSuckSpeech detailing everything Chloe did to him to make his life an utter hell, just because she thought he was a poor friend and was more concerned with PlayingTheVictimCard instead of hearing his side of the story. Chloe is reduced to tears by the end of it, and she grovels at Goh's feet (which is karmic on her end for previously wanting everyone to beg for ''her'' forgiveness) and tearfully, genuinely apologizes for her mistreatment of him.

** In Chapter 6, Chloe tears Annie's jealousy and bitterness towards Ash into pieces. The first time is when Chloe points out that Trainers don't have glamorous lives as everyone came to believe. The second time is when Annie wants to pin the blame on the forest fire on Ash instead of the dangers that someone wanted to kill a dozen children in their tents and would only care about Chloe and everyone else so her daughter (who does a funerary flower business) would get noticed.

** Much, ''much'' later in the story, Goh gets another shot at this alongside [[spoiler: Hazel]] when the duo [[spoiler: decide to call out Amelia for trying to snap at Guide-Grace for what the original Grace did, not only telling her that people afound know about the story and it's been said to death, but telling her right to her face that no matter how hard she tries to say otherwise, what the Apex did is ''nothing'' compared to the ''thirty years she spent terrorizing the Train'', and that she has to accept this, work on herself, and ''stop diverting the blame to everybody else''.]]

* MiseryPoker: [[DeconstructedTrope Deconstructed]]. The interview with Vox and Dahlia has Chloe come to face with the fact she has been doing this since the first story, bringing up her issues and making them seem worse than they were. The deconstruction comes from the fact that, once Vox and Dahlia reveal everything she did to the Train Denizens and further context is given, Chloe has to face the fact she was ultimately at least partially part of the problem, doing things even her bullies found reprehensible, and the Denizens have to deal with the fact the seemingly perfect Train hero was in fact a little brat who blew her problems out of proportions ''just for pity points''.
