Maybe if it wasn't for Ryu, she would have already gone to confront her father about this matter, but she knew that given the fact things had already gone so far, doing such a thing now would only make matters worse.
Ryu wasn't the type to spend his time comforting others, and he didn't have much sympathy and patience in his soul, however when it came to those he cared about, it was a very different matter.
He took Mae's hand. She was so absentminded that she almost didn't seem to notice. When she felt a familiar warmth, she looked over and gave him a bit of a forced smile. It was clear that just a simple action wouldn't be enough to wipe her worry away completely.
