"Really, what am I supposed to do with you?"
Iris felt like she'd sighed more in the past few minutes than she had in her entire life.
"What do you mean? I'd prefer if we worked together, but if you don't want to, I'm also fine going on my own," Damien responded casually.

"That's…true, but still! If you met someone truly strong, could you guarantee your life?"
"Hahaha! Since the moment I found myself here, my life hasn't been guaranteed."
Damien laughed heartily.
