[Ezra manages to not sigh, since that'll carry over the audio but he does rub at his face in frustration.]
I agree that Anakin's probably not gonna take an apology well - which is why I suggested finding a way to do it that isn't any kind of immediate and face to face - but I think you're missing some of the point of an apology.
I'll...get to the rest of what you said in a minute, that's all important, too.
First, apologies do...a few things. They can help smooth over a relationship. Basically, fat chance of that, here. And sometimes people say apologies aren't for the person giving the apology and, hmmm. I dunno. That's not quite right, I don't think.
You shouldn't force your apology onto someone to make yourself feel better, no. But it's still...part of the self improvement. I think it's good to take that step to confront the mistake. Even if it's hard. In the long run, hopefully it'll help you move on.
And I think you should give Anakin an apology because he deserves it, and it could help him move on, too. Maybe it won't. Maybe he'll stew on it forever. But that'll be his choice.
