"Your stubborn nature does remind me of your uncle,"
Kafka used to be under Virgil. Although Kafka was more senior, Virgil, as the son-in-law of the Faust Family, far surpassed him in status and position.
"Think it through. It was because of obstinacy that your uncle met such an... end. You should be more realistic and learn to read the times. Acting like this will only give your enemies leverage, and you'll be marked as a dissident."
However, Virgil ultimately did not understand Mo Meige's character.
Virgil couldn't comprehend why, now that she was under someone else's roof, Mo Meige didn't bow her head when she no longer had any support in the background. Wasn't she just behaving like she used to when her uncle had her back?
