I mean, they are even now... aren't they? The first one was the MC not listening to ML and now the second one is ML not listening to MC. They evened out. (β'β‘'β)οΎ That's why, in my personal opinion, the angst will be so painfully good. Bonus if this story turned tragedy. Wonder what happened to the point that it drove ML to be as how he is now.
They can communicate all they want but none of them would budge. On one side, he doesn't want to hear the apology because he was never heard and was hurt instead. Yet still has some or maybe tiny bit of feelings for MC. While the other side is already dead yet found no best way to apologize and instead, just lash out like that. It's all up to ML whether to listen and either forgive or not...or he can keep up all what he is doing now and ignoring MC until MC can become the future Ariel. Oh also, MC need to find best way to apologize.
