After logging off the game, John's first action was to seek out Emma.
He felt it was essential to clarify everything with her, aware that he had neglected her feelings during the battle.
Emma was in the kitchen, seemingly preparing dinner.
She sensed John's arrival but didn't turn around, still harboring some anger.
"I need to explain some things to you. The battle was intense, and I couldn't afford to waste time then. If I had stopped to explain everything, we might have lost," John explained from the kitchen doorway.
Emma listened to his explanation but continued to work on the vegetables on the cutting board, showing no other response.
It was evident that she was still upset, feeling that no matter how intense the battle was, John should have made an effort to explain things to her.
John was somewhat dissatisfied with her reaction.
