When Demetrius departed, Iris noticed that Persie remained seated on the couch, patiently waiting. Curiosity piqued, Iris inquired, "Are you waiting for Cole?"
Persie replied, "No, I'm waiting for Calista. Since Demetrius ejected her from the house, she'll go to great lengths to reconcile with me."
However, even if Calista has finally recognized the extent of the original's mistreatment, she evades taking responsibility. Moreover, her desire for Persie to convince Evander to stay demonstrates her unwillingness to treat them equally.
Persie simply yearns to "forgive her" and move on. He firmly believes that his heartfelt conversation with Demetrius has yielded positive results.
A few moments passed, and a knock at the door interrupted the atmosphere. Persie, composed yet wary, gave permission for the person to enter, saying, "Come in."
