"Ava, I'm sorry, I love you..."
"Loving me justifies this?! Nathan, you're so selfish. Let go of me, let go!"
Nathan's words implicitly admitted that he was behind the studio incident, leaving Ava heartbroken. She couldn't believe that the person closest to her, the one she shared her life with, was the one who betrayed her the most.
Previously, she had been moved by Nathan's concern for her safety, thinking his late-night vigil outside her building was out of love. But now, she realized his true motive was to plant a virus on her computer.
Who else but Nathan had the skills and capability to infect all the studio's computers in one night? She felt foolish for mistaking his deceit for genuine care. His past kindness now seemed like the cruelest irony to her.
Suddenly, Ava felt utterly desolate. No matter how hard she tried, it seemed futile... Seeing Ava fall silent, Nathan grew anxious.
