"At that time, Allen was overly arrogant, intoxicated by her own talent. She thought she could ignore the rules and directly challenge authority just through her abilities."
His gaze turned distant, as if recalling a story long past:
"But I admire her talent and courage, even if they manifested in a kind of reckless self-destruction."
"Yet she never appreciated your help."
Soron spoke softly, his voice tinged with some resentment: "She even maintained hostility towards you the whole time."
"Allen's pride does not allow her to admit her past mistakes, nor does it permit her to express gratitude to anyone."
Hayek shook his head slightly, his tone devoid of rebuke:
"That's her nature, just like flames forever burning upwards, the strong forever longing to challenge higher places; it's an unchangeable trait."
Yuni softly coughed and joined the conversation: "I went to see Allen this afternoon; she's already preparing to leave."
