He was right.
May could tell that Kajen Fels did not change. At least, he still stuck to his pure faith in dramas, the exact faith that made him so frank to her and still stick to his opinion even though he was asking for her help.
In Kajen's opinion, someone who sincerely loved drama was sure to make room for a perfect play.
But she found that she could not easily answer "yes".
Something had stopped her.
May closed her eyes, the girl's voice coming back to her ears.
"Mrs. Lannis, please wait..."
"This is a little token of my gratitude. Please do accept it..."
Then a salted fish was handed over to her.
At that moment, May understood what was stopping her.
She opened her eyes and held the Master Dramatist's gaze.
This time, she would not evade the issue anymore.
