What comes after Lady's perplexing disclosure is an eventual breakdown that nonplusses Fallon even more.
She suddenly began shedding tears as she continued to struggle to haul him back up. Now, his attention was torn between her emotional outburst and the detrimental height that he was about to fall from. It wasn't long before he zeroed in on her, though. As he looks straight into her eyes, he feels like melting down and caving in at last.
Fallon never encountered such sincerity before – the kind that wordlessly speaks volumes about one's thoughts about the other. Lady's act of concern, persistence, and desperation just seems so genuine that it has made him realize his true importance and value.
Not as a Mireille, but as Fallon.
"Stop staring and do something, you dummy!"
