"I worried for a long time about how to apologize and what words I should use. I felt so sorry that I was cautious even about writing anything, so I’m only finally posting this now, even though it’s so late."
"The more love and attention I received, the more responsibly I should have acted in my private life as well, and so I am so sorry to have caused disappointment."
