Ji Fanyin's words were comforting. While Avina wanted to desperately deny her claims, for a moment, she wanted to bask in the warm embrace her words brought.
Avina wanted to believe she was kind. She wanted to believe in the good things Ji Fanyin thought she was. She wanted to believe in Ji Fanyin's words of her kindness and relieve herself of the guilt she was feeling.
Yet, a part of her denied everything. A part of her knew that three lives had died today, and they passed through her hands. A part of her acknowledged she wasn't as kind and merciful as Ji Fanyin wanted her to believe.
Her mind was weary from thinking this way. She was tired from the guilt she placed upon herself though no one had said anything.
