If there is one thing you should not doubt me on, Ren, it is my ability to understand people. I realise that particular catastrophe was not of your making. [For one, she's pretty sure Ren couldn't have abided not being somewhere in hearing range at the very least even if she somehow decided this was a good idea.

Which seemed like a stretch even by Ren's often underformed standards.]

I... still need some time, Ren.
