An act of forgiveness is essentially a response to an expression of remorse. It is a condition of its possibility that it is asked for. Otherwise it is absurd to ask a victim whether they forgive the wrong-doer, and it is confused to proclaim your forgiveness of someone who hasn't expressed remorse. In such a case all the victim can do is express their willingness to forgive.
