It wasn't really much to be bothered by, but yet, everything he did, he thrived for until now was for her sake. So, seeing that she didn't think of relying on him, even though he asked so many times to tell him what had happened, made him feel upset.

And those felt really frustrating to him.
"I pushed myself so hard to be perfect in fights, still she thinks I can't even stand for her?" He sighed dejectedly, slumping against the door of his room.
