It’s my decision… to tell Taro how I feel. And to step back if he chooses you
crumples the letter in her hand, seething with anger "You think stepping back will solve anything? You underestimate Taro's loyalty to me!"
No, Ayano… I know he’ll choose his own path. And I’ll respect whatever decision he makes
lashes out and punches the wall, leaving a large hole "Taro will always belong to ME! And anyone who tries to take him away will regret it!"
You’re hurting yourself more than me, Ayano… please, calm down
