[Richard's voice is quiet, subdued, very unlike his usual tone. It's worse this time, now that he knows that form isn't just some creation of the Malnosso-- that he actually became that in his world, hurt his friends while in that shape. That makes it that much harder for him to face what he did.]

Xion... I apologize for everything I did while in that form. I know I can't possibly make up for attacking you, but please believe me when I say that I am truly sorry.
