[ i know this is a profound moment for him. but. ]

I think that's obvious enough with how often I see you two around each other.

[ they are silly... ]

But I did talk to him this week. I understand your situation with him better now.

[handfast]

What, friends can't hang out with each other?

[ are they friends? whatever. he does look vaguely interested by this admission though. ]

What'd he say?

[paenitete]

If you're hanging out like friends, I think it's safe to assume you don't want to kill him. That's all.

[ she looks at the gardens again, trying to recall that night in the casino. i, nat, go back to the thread.... ]

We talked about everything he did and why he did it. It sounds like he really loves you and Yona.

[ you are so strong

unfortunately, hak cannot refute this. ]

He likes people. Soo-won. He always did. [ still does. ] He's more honest than I am.

[paenitete]

I don't think he'd feel as awful as he does if he didn't care about you two specifically.

I got a pretty good idea of how much he hates himself.

[handfast]

I don't need you to tell me that. [ quietly. ] I know.

[paenitete]

I'm not saying that to lecture you about it. [ a correction, but a gentle one. her gaze lowers. ] I'm only saying that I think I understand both of you a little better now.

[ ... ]

At one point, he said you told him not to say something. I was wondering what that was.

[handfast]

He doesn't have to listen to me.

[ even though he will, because that's the type of person soo-won is. ]

[paenitete]

He thinks he does.

[handfast]

He thinks too much.

[ it's a good thing and a bad thing. ]
