"Uh, no, that's not what I meant... uh!"
These words made it seem like I was displeased with him leaving just now.
I'm really not yearning for anything!
Herbert slightly shook his head and said gently, "I understand what you mean, please don't panic."
"I've never thought of disliking you, rather I'm worried you might find me, a mere mortal, annoying."
"As for why I resisted just now, the reason isn't actually complicated."
"I must admit... the feeling just now was wonderful."
Herbert smiled at Her and said softly, "But because it's wonderful, it requires us to remain awake, doesn't it?"
"We shouldn't be slaves to joy, we should be its masters."
"Whatever kind of relationship we eventually move towards, it shouldn't be decided by momentary impulses."
!!!
Herbert's words felt like a warm current, quietly melting the complex emotions of embarrassment and remorse inside Fulingya's heart.
