....
the middle quote is your example ...
restitution would be peripheral to the internal admonition of responsibility and is applicable to the injured party your internal correction is not - like keeping the stolen car but saying you will not do it again.
But in the example the injured party has already said they want no further contact. In order to provide restitution (which I suppose would be an apology) would require going against their wishes. I can only take responsibility by further intruding on them?

that is a possible example for your conclusion were restitution still made available with or without the other parties acceptance especially in your example what the issue was for them to never see you again. for the purpose to alleviate a sin ... restitution is responsibility.
We are not going to agree on this. Restitution is not responsibility, it is simply a way to mitigate harm. You can do that while still taking no responsibility at all.

it is simply a way to mitigate harm .
one might inquire why that would not be required, not mitigation but a complete reversal of the harm created. or the responsibility becomes otherwise irrelevant. the victim not yourself is the focal point.
keeping the stolen car while feeling bad about stealing it is a bit of stretch.
your example is no different whether accepted or not the effort to undo the harm would be required over leaving it intact.
A lovely thought, but almost always not possible. If I trod on your toe, how do I undo the pain you experience?

sure, ok ... use a hammer and do your own toe the metaphysical will balance the scale, to say almost never possible is categorically wrong but surly a pleasant thought. * for sinners.
it's not true but christians will tell you their messiah died for their sins - actually (they) remained silent while he was brutally killed - one can not bring back a life taken so that is an irredeemable sin that fits your scenario.
