Things I'm ashamed of: crowds, cruelty and coming clean, sentence 6
The same pattern runs through the other stories: a hidden wrong gets heavier day by day, and telling the truth, saying sorry and fixing what can be fixed is what lets it go quiet.
Who acts: same pattern, hidden wrong · What happens: run, get, tell, say, fix, be · To what, where: other stories, truth · Speech: someone speaks here
