Within
Ailsa opened her mouth to say something several times, but before she could even decide what she would say, she sensed the familiar aura of Ryu sinking into a state of meditation.
His face was peaceful and focused, unmoved by all things. It seemed that his Dao Heart had reached a state of peace… or maybe it was that he had managed to temper any waves that were hidden within.
Calm, unaffected, unmoved. It was like he had an inability to sense that she was still there at all.
There were some things in life that simply couldn't be taken back easily. It was likely that even if she went to an extreme, it would be hard to change Ryu's mind.
She had thought about it, considered what she might do to change things. But she also realized after having decades to calm down that it was all meaningless.
The reason words couldn't be taken back so easily was because having said them already, it meant you had the capacity, the thought, and the feeling to back them.
