"Because I've found a family." That was the answer that I gave in a calm voice.
Noah just looked at me with a dazed look, almost as if he couldn't understand what I was saying.
He just looked at me like this for a bit before his expression slowly changed.
With the way that he looked at me, it was as if he couldn't see through me. It was as if he had many complicated feelings that he couldn't put in words, which was why he looked at me like this.
Seeing the expression on his face, I could guess what he was thinking.
So I calmly said, "I'll do what I can to protect my family, just like you."
Noah's expression became even more complicated when he heard this. He just looked at me in silence like this for a bit before suddenly giving a sigh.
After another pause, he asked, "Is there a need for you to put yourself in danger like this though?"
The expression that he had this time was one of sadness.
