But all of these are just appearances, not the essence.
Essentially, what Sakuragi Hitomi truly lacks and pursues is "a sense of security."
Just like at this moment, she can't help but start to suspect, what exactly does Yan Huan mean by saying this to her right now?
Is it that we've made up?
Has he already forgiven me for my past actions?
Does he still... have feelings for me?
But it's just a word, she needs more evidence to corroborate, to seek the truth.
That's why she needs to monitor his movements for a day, to confirm if there's a third party influencing the President's point of view...
That's why she needs to use Barrier to see what expression the President has when he says this, to see if it's just a polite, expressionless façade...
Sakuragi Hitomi wants to probe further, but what she tries to control and dispel is always just that trace of unease.
