After hearing Lukas's question, Violett started stuttering. "Huh... I... I don't k-know what you are talking about," she said.

Lukas sighed. "I won't blame you for doing this. I know that your mother recovered from a serious illness recently, and that you'd do anything for her," he said. "However, I need you to tell me why, so I can solve this. I'll not allow her to keep trying to intervene and reengage me with you," the blonde boy explained.

After a short break, Violett sighed in defeat. "I-I'm sorry for this, Lukas, but... since my mother asked... I couldn't say no to her," she said.

Lukas nodded his head. "That's fine. Just tell me why she wanted to reengage me with you," he said.

Violett shook her head. "I'm not sure. She said something about "wanting me to be happy"," she replied.
