章節 60: 59: The Interrupted talk

With Suna out of the mix, it left Maria alone with Noa and the air turned awkward. It was thought to start any conversation because of the tense air between them.

"Nao, is everything alright between us? I thought we were fighting and then that night happened and once it was over, we both went to our past attitudes. We never addressed the problem" Maria opened with hesitation.

This was probably the worst time to start such a high-emotion conversation. Maria should have ideally waited till they were at a secure location before opening this can of worms.

But that right location might never come if Maria left it all up to Nao to decide. Maria has given Nao enough time to gather her courage and come forth on her terms. She had even created opportunities by leaving herself vulnerable but Nao had never taken them.

Thus, Maria would have to take matters into her own hands. Also, this was not a situation Nao could flee from so it was an opportunity as well.
