Mai had been so down, so lost after hearing what Chris had said today. After all, in a way, everything she was doing was because of him. If she really wanted to, she could try to pursue someone else or the fact that she knew Chris was going to die, to just leave him to his fate.
As cruel as it may have sounded, at the moment, she just had a one-sided love for him, so maybe it was best to just live on and forget. Which was why she was so lost. All her efforts, the mind torture she had put herself through felt like it was all for nothing.
Until Simon had spoken to her. He had given her the hope she needed.
'Simon's right. I can't just give up now. Not after everything I've been through already. Besides, me and Chris wasn't supposed to get together until later anyway. So perhaps we had originally become friends. Didn't I decide a while ago that just us being friends was fine? It's not like he knows what I'm doing for him anyway.'
