** Having [[BecameTheirOwnAntithesis Become Her Own Antithesis]] due to Lila's {{False Friend}}ship, Alya is naturally horrified [[HeelRealization upon realizing]] [[MyGodWhatHaveIDone how far she went]] and what it cost her. While she eventually tells Lila that she forgives her, she does so well aware that her former friend doesn't really care about her, and she doesn't want to rekindle their relationship. She's only forgiving her so that she can move on with her life.
** Similarly, Adrien bluntly informs his father that while he's forgiven him for his ParentalNeglect and abuse, that doesn't mean he wants Gabriel to have any part in his life moving forward. Especially since he's going to have children of his own soon, and doesn't want to risk Gabriel hurting them the way he did his son.
* In ''Fanfic/ASmallButStubbornFire'', although it seems that Tom isn't holding a grudge against Cat Noir over the ''[[Recap/MiraculousLadybugS03E06Weredad Weredad]]'' incident, he hasn't forgotten about it and is still a little sore over him rejecting Marinette.
* Both played straight and subverted in ''[[https://archiveofourown.org/works/20868983/chapters/49605089 With Time]]'' with Marinette's classmates and Chloé, respectively. Marinette is willing to forgive Chloé for years of bullying and become friends with her, but Chloé came through for Marinette during her lowest moment and put a lot of genuine effort into reforming and making up for her past behavior. This is contrasted with Marinette's other classmates (sans Adrien), who fell for Lila's claims that Marinette spent the whole summer cyberbullying her and then attacked her. The shouting and physically threatening behavior that ensued completely shattered Marinette's self-worth and traumatized her so badly that even months later, she had a panic attack after just glimpsing Alya and Lila in passing. Once Marinette is finally able to face her former classmates again, she exercises forgiveness in the sense of making it clear that she doesn't want revenge and isn't going to hold their actions over their heads, but makes it clear that they aren't friends anymore and probably never will be again because of how they hurt her and broke her trust.
[[AC:''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'']]
* In ''FanFic/HerInnerDemons'', Sci-Twi is no longer mad at the Shadowbolts for bullying her, and accepts their apology. But she makes it clear she doesn't want to be at Crystal Prep anymore, and she wants some time to herself before she can accept them back into her life again.
* ''Fanfic/AuntieTiasMatchmakingService'': Celestia's attitude towards Cozy Glow, as she still has lingering trauma from when Cozy gleefully sucked the magic out of her with Grogar's Bell. While Celestia accepts that Cozy's [[HeelFaceTurn reformed]] and is still willing to help her find someone. She ''does not'' like her and barely tolerates being in the same room with her. (Not helped by [[ReformedButNotTamed Cozy's attitude]].) This creates some issues when trying to find a match for her, as deep down, Celestia still thinks of Cozy as the same [[EnfantTerrible evil child]] who only cares for power and dominating others. [[spoiler: Though they eventually move past this in chapter 24.]] Pony society at large is said to have a similar view of her. At one point, she even bemoans that she can't use her looks to charm most ponies, like she used her [[FakeCutie cuteness and false sweetness]] in the past, not because she isn't considered attractive, but because everypony knows her as an infamous former villain. And it's mentioned that ponies in "polite society" often make it a point to remind her they know who she is and what she's done, even if they don't directly say anything about it.
[[AC:''Franchise/{{Naruto}}'']]
* ''[[Fanfic/WhatYouKneadNaruto What You Knead]]'' [[PlayingWith plays with this]] after Sasuke recklessly endangers Sakura's life during the bell test. While Sakura quickly forgives him for this -- or thinks that she has -- ''Inner Sakura'' is another matter entirely.
[[AC:''Franchise/{{Persona}}'']]
* ''Fanfic/TheBodyReflectsTheHeartTheShadowReflectsTheSoul'': When Futaba offers to hunt down Ren's biological father and punish him, his mother turns her down, stating that she's moved on. However, she also reassures Futaba that if he comes back to bother them, she'll happily give them his name.
[[AC:''Franchise/{{Pokemon}}'']]
* In ''Fanfic/{{Jessica}}'', this is discussed and ultimately [[spoiler:defied. After seeing how he accidentally kills Jessica, Cameron vows to be extra careful with Pokémon games in the future, because he doesn't think Jessica will give him another chance if he harms her or any other Pokémon again.]]
[[AC:''Manga/RosarioPlusVampire'']]
* ''FanFic/RosarioVampireBrightestDarkness Act I'': In Chapters 10-13, Apoch and Astreal brainwash Dark and Rason in an attempt to get them to fight and kill their BadBoss Ghaldin; unfortunately, their ineptitude with mind control spells allows Ghaldin to take control of all four of them when he catches up to them, with Ghaldin electing to test Dark and Rason's power by siccing them on the gang. After the situation is resolved by Inner Moka killing Ghaldin, Dark and Rason decide to forgive the two, but Dark warns Apoch that he will personally kill her if she ever tries anything like that again.
[[AC:''Franchise/TheSmurfs'']]
* In the song "Of All The People" from the ''Fanfic/EmpathTheLuckiestSmurf'' novel, the singer says in the final verse that someday he'll forgive the person who has subjected him to a past he never wanted to live, but he will never let go of what it did to him. [[spoiler:The singer in this case is Empath, and the person that he will forgive but never forget what he did to him is Papa Smurf, his biological father.]]
[[AC:''Franchise/ASongOfIceAndFire'']]
* This is pretty much the reaction to Jorah Mormont's return to Westeros in ''Fanfic/RobbReturns'', despite his exile. In the face of the threat of the Others, Robert is willing to write him a pardon and Eddard and his family are willing to set his crimes aside, but it's very clear those scars will not be fading anytime soon. It's also made clear that he is still disinherited for his crimes.
* After winning the civil war of ''Fanfic/MyFathersSon'', Rhaegar makes this his primary policy on how to deal with the lords loyal to Aerys. Sure, some like Robert were hell bent on killing him in various ways, but technically they were carrying out loyalty to their king. And beyond that, his only interest was punishing lords and leaders who carried out atrocities like [[spoiler: The Sack of Harrenhal]] or [[spoiler: The poisoning of Jon Arryn]]. For a majority of the "fighting" lords, he gave them a general amnesty so long as they swore new loyalty to him.
[[AC:''Franchise/StarWars'']]
* ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/14191468/1/Child-No-One-is-Ever-Told-What-Would-Have-Happened Child, No One is Ever Told What Would Have Happened]]'' uses this as the main reason Anakin leaves the Jedi after he and Obi-Wan Kenobi establish that Anakin spent the first few years of his time as an apprentice believing that the Jedi as a whole still considered him a slave. Obi-Wan is swift to affirm that he never thought that way, and the Council are equally quick to express their regret for the communications errors that led to that assumption, but Anakin and the Council each acknowledge that this experience has tainted Anakin's experience of the Jedi far too much for him to continue in the Order. Despite this, once circumstances result in Anakin being placed in charge of a flight wing of clones during the War, he meets with the Council on friendly terms and they are willing to listen to his viewpoint, [[spoiler:with Mace Windu later observing that their experience with Anakin caused the Jedi to re-evaluate many of their teaching methods and examine how they are perceived by the general public to avoid repeating their errors with him]].
[[AC:''Franchise/{{Transformers}}'']]
* In ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/4144511/1/Indefinite-Objects Indefinite Objects]]'', Maggie forgave Glenn for ratting her out in the [=FBI=] cell, but she is understandably wary about telling Glenn another secret she's uncovered. Glen himself wonders if Maggie smuggled Pentagon materials in her purse.
[[AC:''Literature/{{Worm}}'']]
* In ''Fanfic/QueenOfTheSwarm'', Taylor thinks she ''could'' forgive her former best friend for betraying her and bullying her since Emma's sincerely sorry, but she cannot forget what happened.
--> I doubted she could ever be my best friend again: no amount of mental gymnastics could remove the fact that it'd been her face sneering at me, taunting and abusing me. I might not be able to forget, but I could forgive, and so long as Emma could settle for being a basic friend (and control any other urges: I caught her eyeing me several times) I saw no reason why this arrangement couldn't work.
[[AC:''Franchise/YuGiOh'']]
* From the ''WebVideo/YuGiOhTheAbridgedSeries'':

[[AC:{{Crossover}}s]]
* ''Fanfic/ChildOfTheStorm'' has Harry, eventually, forgive his grandfather for not rescuing him from the Dursleys due to understandable concerns (including not wanting to draw attention to Harry in the first place). However, as he notes in the sequel, this is not the same as forgetting.
* In ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/12758410/36/Loud-10 Loud 10]]'', Lisa attempts to extract the Omnitrix from Lincoln in order to claim it for her own and study it, and accidentally mutates her other siblings into aliens in the process. When everyone returns to normal, Lincoln informs Lisa that while he does somewhat forgive her, it will take awhile before he can start trusting her again.
** Lincoln gives the same sentiments to Lynn in the next chapter after she tries to pull a similar stunt due to being envious of Lincoln being a hero.
* ''FanFic/TheNewestChallenger'' has the time that [[spoiler:Sasuke punched a Chidori through Naruto's chest]]. Naruto brings the incident up while introducing [[spoiler:Sasuke]] to his friends; while Naruto shrugs it off, his friends are understandably horrified, with one attempting to attack the past perpetrator on the spot.
* ''Fanfic/RaiseYourVoiceAgainstLiars'' defies this; Marinette makes clear that she will ''never'' forgive Lila for trying to ruin her life with with her bullying and MaliciousSlander.
[[AC:''WesternAnimation/ChalkZone'']]
* ''Fanfic/CrossingLinesSmallCrimes'': Penny may have been [[FakeDefector faking her betrayal]] when she became the Chalk Queen, but the incident still hit Rudy hard, causing him to have nightmares about how easily Snap could have died. As a result, he finds himself struggling to trust her.
[[AC:''Franchise/DanganRonpa'']]
* ''FanFic/BlackenedSkies'': During the first Trial, Kaede keeps critical information from her classmates. Some of this is to [[ClearTheirName protect others from falling under suspicion]], while other details she hides in hopes of [[GuileHero luring the culprit into a trap]]. In the aftermath, some of her classmates [[RejectedApology reject her apology]], [[WhatTheHellHero calling her out]] for how her actions [[NiceJobBreakingItHero greatly complicated matters]] and nearly caused a mistrial. Others, like Sakura, make clear that while they understand ''why'' she did what she did, it's also made it much harder for them to ''trust'' her.
* In ''Fanfic/WhereTalentGoesToDie'', Miura feels this way about the various killers, [[spoiler:or at least the ones who were trying to graduate]]. She sympathizes with them to various extents, and doesn't believe they deserve to die, but does not forget that they killed [[spoiler:at least]] one person and were willing to sacrifice the others in order to graduate.
[[AC:''WesternAnimation/DannyPhantom'']]
* ''Fanfic/DannyPhantomStranded'': Star greatly resents her mother Stella for leaving her father for the womanizing Jean Luc, saddling her with a nasty stepsister in [[SpoiledBrat Collette]]. She finally reaches her breaking point in "Lost", [[CallingTheOldManOut calling Stella out]] for abandoning her family and failing as a parent. Stella orders her to apologize, only for Star to admit she hates her. While she later recalls how she ''used'' to be a good mother, and agrees to give her another change, she makes clear that she can't forget the way she abandoned her, and admits to Sam in "Stuck" that even though Stella is trying to change her ways, it will likely take a long time before she's able to fully forgive her.
[[AC:''WebAnimation/DCSuperHeroGirls'']]
* ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/13383335/7/SuperLife-Season-1 Superlife: Season 1]]'': Jordan James' BerserkButton is any and all forms of bullying, and not even his friends/teammates are exempt from his anger, [[TheReasonYouSuckSpeech laying into the ones]] that he caught watching one of Leslie's embarrassing videos and [[ArmorPiercingQuestion asking if they'd still watch it if he was the one in the video]], getting beyond pissed several moments later when he realizes ''that they're deciding''! After what he experienced throughout the chapter, Jordan can't find it in himself to immediately forgive the Superhero Girls (barring Diana, who took no part in their behavior), something they reluctantly understand.
[[AC:''Franchise/DisneyAnimatedCanon'']]
* {{Inverted}} with Habia from ''Fanfic/TheLionKingAdventures''. He is forgiven for murdering Tama, but he himself never forgets it. WordOfGod states that he did eventually get over it as he grew up.
[[AC:''Manga/FairyTail'']]
* Lampshaded, but at the same time subverted, in ''The Light that Banishes the Shadow''. When a former mage of Fairy Tail points out that Yukino's excommunication from Sabertooth following her defeat in the Grand Magic Games arena brings to mind Laxus' failed takeover attempt seven years prior, Lucy defends Laxus by pointing out that half of her guildmates witnessed [[HeelFaceTurn his role in aiding Fairy Tail in the Tenrou Island crisis]], and that for the rest, the passage of time erased their resultant grudges. Lucy ends her speech by saying of Laxus' big screw-up, "although none of us have forgotten, we all have forgiven."
[[AC:''Franchise/FateSeries'']]
* ''Fanfic/PassingDays'' shows both the main protagonist Vy and her summoned Servants holding their fair share of grudges with other parties considering their actions in the original ''VideoGame/FateGrandOrder'', even if they've become allies. Circe is currently on bad terms with Vy due to her IdentityImpersonator act in replacing Medea in Salem, and Kama, while given sympathy for their FreudianExcuse in the Ooku event, is still treated with suspicion by many of Vy's Grailed Big Seven when it comes to their interactions with Vy herself.
[[AC:''Franchise/HowToTrainYourDragon'']]
* In ''Fanfic/HiccupTheUseless'', after the truth behind Stoick's FakeUltimateHero RedHerring plot was explained to Hiccup after he [[spoiler:tried to kill himself]], Hiccup decides to stay on Berk and continue as normal for the sake of his people, though it is very clear that things aren't the same. He keeps to himself and decides that he and Astrid need to "take a break", having a very brief thing with Heather as she visits because she was uninvolved in their plot. Conversely, the Hooligans over-compensate in their attempts to make him feel wanted.
[[AC:''Tabletop/InNomine'']]
* ''Fanfic/TheOopsCycle'': The redeemed Princes are accepted into Heaven, but their former actions mean that many of their new peers still carry deep grudges and suspicion against them.

While Marinette is the most willing of the lot to accept his sincerity, she also makes clear that they need to see him making real effort to change before they can start forgiving what he did, and that it's going to take time to build up any trust.
* ''[[Fanfic/ConsequencesMiraculousLadybug CONSEQUENCES]]'': {{Discussed}} in ''EXPOSED''; Lila assumes that Marinette is the type to [[EasilyForgiven 'forgive and forget']], bragging about how she never lets go of any slight against her. Marinette responds that "I ''forgive'', yes, but I don't ''forget''. Especially not your selfish attempt to expose Ladybug."

She only accepted Zuko on the basis that Aang needed a firebending teacher and that they did not have a choice. She also, aware of Zuko's time in the FaceHeelRevolvingDoor up to that point, warns them that if he makes another FaceHeelTurn, she'll kill him on the spot. She does fully forgive him at the end of the series, though.
* The ''WesternAnimation/BabyLooneyTunes'' episode "In Bugs We Trust" focuses on this. When Bugs was entrusted to get a net for their volleyball game, they were disappointed when he decides to get a bunch of useless junk for himself instead. Their response when Bugs asks them for forgiveness?
-->'''All but Bugs''': We forgive you.\\
'''Bugs''': Really?\\
'''Lola''': We forgive you, OK, Bugs? We just can't ''trust'' you anymore. Because of you, we can never play volleyball ever again.
* ''WesternAnimation/BojackHorseman'': In Season 3, Todd ends up [[spoiler: walking out of Bojack's life after he has sex with Emily, even dropping the f-word to punctuate his anger]]. Come Season 4, however, and Todd tells Bojack that while he's not mad, he's not ready for them to become friends again.
* After the infamous love triangle in ''WesternAnimation/{{Daria}}'', it takes Jane almost the entire summer, but she does learn to forgive Daria for kissing Tom behind her back, and even encourages her to give him another chance. [[note]] The two split up after a fight[[/note]] She does, however, tease Daria about it through the remainder of the series.
* The animated adaptation of ''Literature/{{Franklin}}'': In the episode "Franklin Forgives", Franklin was advised by Bear to forgive and forget in regards to forgiving Harriet for knocking over Goldie's, Franklin's goldfish's, bowl. Franklin's response was that he doesn't want to forget Goldie. This later gets discussed with Franklin and his father.
* The debut episode of ''WesternAnimation/TheHairBearBunch'' involved the bears making keeper Peevly think he had a disease that affects zookeepers and he had to take a six-month vacation. This leads to misadventures and a chase with Botch and fill-in keeper Grunch, but after all is settled, Peevly is welcomed back by his animal charges.
-->'''Hair:''' So you're not sore at us for pulling that phony doctor bit, Mr. Peevly?\\
'''Peevly:''' ''[chuckles]'' A Peevly always forgives... ''[angrily]'' but he never forgets!!
* ''WesternAnimation/JusticeLeague'':
** Hawkgirl, ''definitely''. In fact, some members of the League do ''not'' forgive her after it is revealed she was TheMole, at least for a while, and even after she saves the day after [[TheBusCameBack her recuperation with Dr. Fate]], she is heckled by an angry mob. Even much later, she still has hundreds of detractors among the public, as seen by the hate websites aimed at her, although her teammates all do eventually. Superman was the most willing to give her a second chance (especially since a similar thing had happened to him) while it took Wonder Woman the longest -- and while Wonder Woman does reach a détente, she and Hawkgirl never fully became friends again. In fact, it was very hard for Hawkgirl [[HeelRealization to forgive herself]] for what she did too, going on a self-imposed exile to punish herself at first, and even [[ThatManIsDead discarding the identity of Hawkgirl, and considering it a sham.]]
** Same thing goes with Superman after the events of "[[Recap/SupermanTheAnimatedSeriesS3E12E13Legacy Legacy]]". The world does trust him again after about a few years since Darkseid brainwashed him, and while they do accept that Superman was brainwashed, this event was never forgotten, as Lois pointed out in "Question Authority". Superman's speech about the aforementioned Hawkgirl regarding forgiveness and second chances speaks volumes about what he himself went through.
* ''WesternAnimation/{{Kaeloo}}'':
** In the episode "Let's Play Golf", Mr. Cat and Stumpy claim to have forgiven Kaeloo for cheating at a game of golf, but in Episode 57 they [[CallBack refer to the events of that episode]] when trying to provide evidence that she is a cheater.
** Said word-for-word by Kaeloo in Episode 105 after [[spoiler: [[MakesSenseInContext Quack Quack turns Planet Smileyland into a yogurt-themed planet]], but after seeing everyone upset reverts it to normal]].
* In ''WesternAnimation/TheLionGuard'', young cub Kion forgives the phantom of Scar, who murdered his grandfather. Not because what Scar did was okay, or even because Scar apologized ([[VengefulGhost he didn't]]), but because it's not Kion's place to judge him. That right belongs to the lions who lived alongside Scar and suffered because of him- [[TheCavalry a right they promptly exercise]].
* [[spoiler:Discord]] from ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'' is redeemed during the third season, but the Mane Six still haven't forgotten about when [[spoiler:he caused them to go BrainwashedAndCrazy and making the WorldGoneMad]]. Everyone other than Fluttershy being anxious around the character leads to the character [[spoiler: betraying them all to Tirek]] at the end of the following season, believing that none of them saw him as a friend anyway.
** In that same regard, Trixie ends up being forgiven by Twilight, who ends up not trusting her when her apprentice [[spoiler:Starlight Glimmer]] makes friends with her during the sixth season.
** This is a constant presence in the ''[[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyEquestriaGirls Equestria Girls]]'' franchise:
*** In ''[[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyEquestriaGirlsRainbowRocks Rainbow Rocks]]'', the Humane Six constantly bring up former bully [[TheAtoner Sunser Shimmer]]'s evil deeds from the first film in the form of InnocentlyInsensitive comments, which clearly annoys Sunset.
*** In ''[[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyEquestriaGirlsFriendshipGames Friendship Games]]'', Rarity once again subtly brings up again Sunset's evil past, although as a joke and with Sunset taking it better. Also, even though the whole school has forgiven her at this point, a poster of her demon form is shown during Rainbow Dash's motivational speech when she points out they defeated evil magic beings twice (the other ones being the Dazzlings).
*** Human Twilight's rampage as Midnight Sparkle is constantly brought up in ''[[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyEquestriaGirlsLegendOfEverfree Legend of Everfree]]'', although in a much better light than Sunset's past. In fact, aside from a brief InnocentlyInsensitive comment from Rarity, the only reason her rampage is ever brought up is that ''Twilight'' hasn't forgiven herself.
*** PlayedForLaughs in the ''[[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyEquestriaGirlsMagicalMovieNight Magical Movie Night]]'' segment "Mirror Magic", where Sunset, Twilight, and Starlight Glimmer calmly bring up their evil actions when comforting a redeemed Juniper Montage.
*** ''[[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyEquestriaGirlsForgottenFriendship Forgotten Friendship]]'' has this as [[spoiler:Wallflower Blush]]'s reason for removing the school's positive memories of Sunset Shimmer. They believe her HeelFaceTurn to be a front, and even if it isn't, that all the heroic deeds Sunset has done in the past year don't erase the times prior she spent being a terrible person.
* ''WesternAnimation/TheOwlHouse'': The Season 1 finale has [[spoiler:Luz reluctantly ally with Lilith to save Eda after it's revealed she's the one who cursed her 30 years ago. And while saving her makes Lilith a part of the Owl House, as does sharing Eda's curse, Eda and Luz make it very clear the only reason they are taking her in is that Lilith gave up literally everything.]] By Season 2, [[spoiler:Eda seems much more at ease around Lilith, but still reminds her of the curse in a teasing manner from time to time.]]
* ''WesternAnimation/RickAndMorty'': In "The Whirly-Dirly Conspiracy", after everything that led to the divorce and secret assassination attempt, Rick and Jerry amicably agree to cover for each other, and Jerry, despite Rick's offer, chooses not to go into the house and absorb pity from his family, something that visibly impresses Rick. Nevertheless, he acts fast before Jerry can change his mind.
* ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons'':
** In "[[Recap/TheSimpsonsS5E10Springfield $pringfield]]":
--->'''Homer:''' You know, Marge, for the first time in our marriage, I can finally look down my nose at you. You have a gambling problem!\\
'''Marge:''' Hmmm, that's true. Will you forgive me? \\
'''Homer:''' Oh, sure! Remember when I got caught stealing all those watches from Sears?\\
'''Marge:''' Hmmm.\\
'''Homer:''' Well, that's nothing, because you have a gambling problem! And remember when I let that escaped lunatic in the house 'cause he was dressed like Santa Claus?\\
'''Marge:''' Hmmm.\\
'''Homer:''' Well you have a gambling problem!\\
'''Marge:''' Homer, when you forgive someone, you can't throw it back at them like that!\\
'''Homer:''' Aw, what a gyp.\\
''[they kiss]''\\
'''Homer:''' Remember when I--\\
'''Marge:''' Homer! \\
'''Homer:''' Oh yeah, I forgot already.
** "[[Recap/TheSimpsonsS15E20TheWayWeWerent The Way We Weren't]]" involves a flashback to Homer and Marge meeting as kids, and Marge livid with Homer when realizing he is actually a boy who stood her up for a date. When he reveals the insane chain of events that had actually stopped Homer arriving in time, Marge calms, but is still sore about her experience, despite Homer constantly hounding her about whether she's let it go afterwards.
* ''WesternAnimation/SkullIsland2023'': In the first season's final episode, Dog and Annie steal [[TragicKeepsake the Island Girl's necklace]] from Kong and lure him out to the beach where the Kraken is dwelling, forcing Kong into a fight to the death that he'd been avoiding all season. Although Kong saves Dog [[spoiler:and gets him and Annie to safety after realizing how much they care for each-other]], he still glares sternly at the pair immediately afterwards, making it clear that he hasn't forgotten what they did. To her credit, Annie gets the message and starts uttering an apology, [[spoiler:when the Kraken suddenly reappears]].
[[/folder]]
* ''WesternAnimation/{{Amphibia}}'': Anne got angry with Hop Pop for lying to her about the Calamity Box as he buried it instead of sending it to a contact of his. However, after hearing his reasons and seeing that he's really sorry for lying to her, Anne forgives Hop Pop. Although she is not angry with Hop Pop anymore, Anne is having a hard time letting go because his actions really caused a strain in their relationship with one another. Anne wants to let go about what happened with the Calamity Box as she tells Hop Pop that she doesn't know what he needs to do in order to set things right between them but he encourages her to take all the time she needed, which she appreciated.
