Mina listened to Nael speak, and unlike how she would have reacted in the past, she was completely free of judgement. He told her that he tried to force a kiss on the then eighteen-year-old Mills, she reacted violently, he responded aggressively, and Leal, who had been asleep in the next room, had to get involved. She now knew that both men were in 'love' with Mills, but the woman was uninterested in being with either of them because she 'had her brother to take care of.'
"I know what you must be thinking, but that was the lowest I had ever been. I was drinking heavily around that time, trying to block out the sounds of the people I killed. Meeting Mills somehow made all my pain worth it."
"She was nice to you," Mina added. "She understood what you were going through, and you misread her affection."
"I didn't misread; Mills liked us both, but because she couldn't decide, she chose not to pursue either of us. I was just an idiot."
