"I will do whatever it takes to protect what I think is important." Said Aaron that night.
The downside? Am I the weakness? Am I the one he's trying to protect? Does he love me? - thought Mai.
Mai should feel happy thinking about that possibility, isn't that what she feels and wants but she feels sick.
If he loves me if he does all that for me... I... Feel like I don't deserve it. - thought Mai.
Mai feels even more guilty. She felt she had troubled Aaron. She felt bad. Mai's mind became more confused, not to mention thinking about her father. Mai is afraid that her father will be affected by all these problems, for example being fired. If her father gets fired, what will happen to her family, college? Her father's age is not young anymore, it must not be easy to find a new job. Imagine in their minds their difficult life first. Her father would be sad too, and so would her mother.
