[here](http://bmbuf.web.fc2.com/lib/hosip/ai_no_kagi.pdf). A girl has had an
argument with her boyfriend. On the way home she thinks that maybe she should
have apologised. She's now changing the password on her room door.

> ぼんやりと字をいじっているうちに、字は「悪かった、ごめんなさい。」と並んでいた。いまさら、 **こんなこと** を言っても仕方がないのに、

I don't fully understand this passage. What does こんなこと refer to here? Is it
the phrase 悪かった、ごめんなさい or is it あたしもばかね. i.e. Is she saying that there's not
point in calling herself an idiot, or is she saying there's no point in saying
it was her fault?

Presumably この言葉 refers to 悪かった、ごめんなさい? I'm not confident that I'm putting all
this together correctly.

Identifying the meaning of こんなこと in this context
Both こんなこと and この言葉 refer to 「悪かった、ごめんなさい。」

By あたしもばかね, she's saying it's foolish of her to change the password to "I am
sorry" (so that she'd have to say it to the door every day from tomorrow),
even though there's no point in saying it anymore.

だけど、あす **から** 、この言葉を言ってすごすわ literally means "However, from tomorrow I'll spend
time saying these words", practically means she will use that phrase as the
password and say it every day.
