Mistake

The expretion ended up a bit more dramatic than I planned, but at the same time, I can't unsee how the two drips under the fingers make it look a bit like the character's just holding back a nosebleed, which makes it look much less dramatic.

Mistake⁠

“It probably doesn’t even matter⁠
But guilt bites hard anyway.⁠
It shouldn’t be such a big deal,⁠
Everything will be fine⁠
And everyone moves on,⁠
But for some reason sometimes⁠
Small things haunt you⁠
For much longer than they should.”⁠
