Oh man, what a bummer! I regret killing Alexander Hamilton in that duel. It’s been weighing on me ever since. I mean, it was a spur of the moment thing and I didn’t think it through. But still, it’s something that’ll stay with me forever. Ugh, if only I could turn back time! Anyway, lesson learned: never act without thinking first.
