Amelia was right!
In the past, she could have argued that, as a teacher, she shouldn't entertain such emotions.
However, the situation had changed! Zero was no longer a student at Ace Academy. He had dropped out two years ago, and if that weren't the case, he would have already graduated. Furthermore, he was an adult now, capable of making his own decisions.
While it doesn't mean that she would stop caring about Zero as a student. She still wanted to be his teacher and look after his growth and well-being.
However, she didn't want to limit herself to just being his teacher.
A person can play multiple roles in someone's life. Just like being a father while simultaneously being a friend and a comrade in battle can also hold true.
"Thank you, Amelia!"
Mia exclaimed, finally realizing what she needed to do with her emotions. Amelia's words had shattered the barriers she had placed around her feelings.
