Nathanael's pov:
"I don't have to justify myself to you," she retorts, a not so jovial smile on her.
Clearly, I've pressed on a delicate spot. She's not too keen on sharing much on the matter. I may be able to contain my emotions better in her presence now that I am no longer… Obsessed with her, but I can't lie to myself; she remains dear to me. I am concerned about her wellbeing.
"I won't ask you to justify your decisions, no," I pause for an instant, "But, maybe I would ask out of curiosity. You know what it's like to be curious," I add.
