Ethan Herd stared blankly at Scarlett Glenn, he... had just been confessed to in such a manner.
He felt his face gradually heating up, growing hotter and hotter...
Scarlett Glenn's voice was very calm, her long statement delivered as if it were a mere narration, as though she was reading from a script.

As he spoke these words, Arthur seemed to see an oak tree, that no matter the storm, no one could stop from growing.
Just like the Scarlett Glenn he once knew, no matter how difficult the adversity she faced, she would never bow her head, no one could stop her.
But… the words she says now whipped against his body, causing not just pain, but also... a sense of utter embarrassment.
