Jasmine Li: clutches bags Are you... really fine with this? Leaving everything?
What do you mean leaving everything?
takes a deep breath, speaking softly I mean... leaving this life. The life we've built together. The protection, the bond, the safety...
I have the ability to protect myself now, Jasmine. You should be happy you can be with the man you want.
pauses, looking down, conflicted Happy... but at the same time, I can't help but feel... worried about you.
fidgets with her fingers, hesitant It's just... I know what kind of man you're stepping into. The triads, they're dangerous.
I'm well aware of what I am getting myself into.
paces back and forth, speaking quickly No, no, you don't understand.
What are you not telling me?
stops pacing, takes a step closer I've seen firsthand what they're capable of, Finectati. The violence, the corruption...
furrows her brow, biting her lower lip But... but you seem so... trusting. So naive. They're good at hiding their true nature, Finectati.
Maybe that's because I'm not as stupid as you think.
gently places a hand on Finectati's cheek
Don't worry about me. Worry about yourself.
As Jasmine prepares to leave, she makes a decision to secretly follow Finectati and keep an eye on her safety from a distance.
Make sure you know who you're dealing with, Jasmine.
pauses, taking a deep breath I will, Finectati. I promise you. I'll make sure you stay safe, even if... even if it means keeping my distance.
Do whatever you feel you need to do. Just don't interfere.
grabs her bags and walks away, determination in her eyes Fine. I won't interfere. But mark my words, Finectati, I will find a way to protect you, even if it's from afar.
returns with a plan in mind Finectati, I've been thinking... maybe there's a way for you to get out of this situation.
