"I am telling you this not only because it will hinder your training, but also because… never mind. If you don't believe me, then don't go on crying to me after you see his true colors!"
"I… I want to try to be in love," she looked at the floor as their supposedly discreet discussion had turned loud, "So please don't stop me!"
