I Guess I Have No Other Choice

"It's impossible, Kafka...I'm someone who couldn't even make a single clay animal in art class when I was asked in sixth grade and was laughed at by my classmates for making some sort of ugly alien blob that I called an elephant in the end. So, I really doubt if I have the abilities to fix something as complicated as an actual working machine." 

Nina thought of the matter that had occurred in the past, which became a bad memory that actually made her give up on trying to become like her father because of the embarrassment she felt at that moment, which made her accept that she wasn't talented in that aspect and let out a wry smile. 

Nina was against my idea because she didn't want to repeat the past and embarrass herself in front of me once again, like she did in front of her classmates.
