WoL Think Thonkers

8. What is one of their biggest regrets? Has it had an effect on how they act moving forward, for better or worse?

Haurchefant is a big one, of course. Canonically he is the WoL's main regret, but in Tsuna's case I have been mulling over the idea inspired by this post that she tried so hard to bring him back that not only did she perform the taboo of using her own life energy for her white magic once she drained herself both of mana and ambient aether, but that the sheer strength of her wish caused his corpse never to rot-- similar to Niellefresne's condition. It ensures that he is tethered to the world for as long as she is.

Does it have an effect on how she acts moving forward? Yes. Despite her meetings with Fray telling her that she can't save everyone, and that to sacrifice is to renounce everything. She becomes distant for a time, and quicker to anger.

Aside from the obvious canon losses that she couldn't prevent, the other regret (coincidentally also around the same time) is having a drunken, one-night stand with a certain rogue. No, it doesn't go well. It affects their relationship negatively well into Shadowbringers.
