After quickly skimming through the diary, Harrison Clark sighed deeply, "Why are you doing this? It's only three to five years. I can wait."
He found the words familiar because he had said them to Avril Green in person before, and they were clearly written in the diary.
But Avril Green had countered him.
She said, "Humans only have a thousand years left, five years equals one two-hundredth of that. It's not five days, it's five years! If you're really responsible and selfless, you shouldn't give up these five years."
"The enemy is so powerful that it's unfathomable. Even if it's just a one in ten thousand acceleration, you shouldn't give up. We have grand ambitions, and this is just a small matter. I don't care about personal gains and losses, what do you care about?"
Harrison Clark was reluctantly convinced by her words at the time.
In order to be true to the woman, he had gone against his own determination to do everything he could – this was essentially selfish.
