Kizy sighed before folding the paper and keeping it in her pocket while sitting back, tears threatening to fall from her eyes while digesting all the things that Markus had mentioned.
She looked down, eyes closed, taking deep breaths to calm herself down, thinking all the things through, even though they didn't make any sense.
"Sorry for shouting at you earlier, grandpa. I was being way too rude with you." Kizy said, her voice full of guilt and self remorse, knowing that she had done something like this for the first time, because Markus's thought had made it unable for her to think rationally.
"You don't have to feel guilty, child. Just know that we are there to support you. Thus I hope you'll similarly support Markus and think while keeping yourself in his shoes. If the situation that you have was faced by Markus, would you even think twice before going all out?" Grandpa asked, his tone calm but firm.
