When Aria spoke these words, her voice was especially gentle, and she even held George's hand, thinking that if she spoke gently enough, George wouldn't worry anymore. Moreover, Aria thought to herself, how could George be so silly? Couldn't he feel that she was saying all this because she cared about him? That she said so much because there was nothing between her and Matt Andrews?
So since all this was clear, why was George still questioning her? It was really a bit confusing.
"I know what you're saying, but I'm just really worried right now. You know I'm not by your side, and I might just be lacking confidence in myself right now. So I worry that if a slightly more outstanding boy is always by your side, what can I do? Darling, is there really no way to change this? Otherwise, let's not act in this anymore, how about since the male protagonist is a newcomer, we just give the opportunity to someone else?"
