Hopefully
Our conversation after that found no progress. Because no matter what I said to her, the girl stubbornly held onto her belief that Ichihara Jun’s hostility towards me was because I got close to her. Even if I argued that I was just as responsible as her for this situation because I provoked the guy back when she visited me in my office, the girl brought up the day she picked me up when we took the first photo as her counterargument.
For her, that’s the beginning of everything. If she didn’t wait for me that day to employ my help, Ichihara Jun wouldn’t be this hostile to me.
After that, she refused to listen to my response and simply buried herself further in my embrace.
Yeah. She’s just being stubborn to accept that it’s not entirely her fault.
Understanding that it would be impossible to change her mind today, I decided to put it aside and revisit it when another chance arose. Or when she stopped being stubborn.
