"She only wants you to call her sister, even if there are conditions, yours are too harsh."
Jiutiao Meijie did not state the conditions but instead said something else:
"You and Kiyono Lin are too close to think calmly, unable to view her objectively, always thinking from her perspective."
Where was Kiyono Lin wrong?
She simply didn't want to lie, insisted on not lying, hated lying.
In the moment when her heart was filled with anger towards the people of the world and all sympathy for Kiyono Lin, the words Jiutiao Meijie had just said echoed again in his ears.
'You and Kiyono Lin are too close to think calmly, unable to view her objectively, always thinking from her perspective.'
Was it necessary to refuse to get close to her own family and friends so much because she hated lying? Wasn't that too heartless?
But what was wrong with being oneself? And to maintain that, how much courage was needed.
