Mrs. White admitted she had misjudged the situation.

"You know, Pu is my lover. We've fought so many battles together, I've known him for a long time, the guy is unbelievably strong. I think we have great chemistry together. Sometimes it's hard to make decisions, and after many days and nights of thought, he decided to take his talent away for a while. I can't wait to wear the prop he promised me the next time we meet, and as for my late husband, I hope he's doing fine in heaven..."
