She knew, she was the one who couldn't bear to part with Gong Fan. Youyou could see that. He understood her reluctance. That was why he had held on for so long. But now she could see that the boy's mental state was deteriorating. He was continually having nightmares and these nightmares were destroying his will. The boy held on and insisted he was fine. She didn't even offer a word of comfort.

However, every time she thought of having to make a choice, she didn't dare to think further. It was this hesitation, this indecision, that had been causing the boy to suffer, but he did so in silence.
