While Zenon still had a lot of unanswered questions, he was enjoying the sense of relief after telling Valeria what he felt for a long time. It seems like she was enjoying it too.

"I thought you wanted to talk about what happened back then."
"And I wanted to! But not this melodramatic scenario… fucking hell, Zenon," The boy smiled, hearing once again the catchphrase of her dear friend. "I thought you were going to burst out crying at any second."
He waved his hand.
"Nah, I haven't gotten that soft."
