After leaving Yuzo Joel's place and parting with those sisters, Arlong and Kiara left.
Kiara, noticing the redness around his eyes, asked.
"Why didn't you see them off?"
"She didn't let me..."
Kiara nodded, "She's very smart."
Kiara was somewhat satisfied with Flora Jim's behavior this time, leaving each other with a good impression was better than parting as enemies after all the love had been exhausted.
Arlong felt an indescribable sensation in his heart. His first romance had been so tumultuous, having experienced love, hatred, frustration, struggle, and effort only to end without a result, yet he didn't seem to feel too upset.
"Young man, you have a long road ahead of you. There's no need to view the outcome as so important. Enjoying a complete process is nice too. At least you parted in the most mature way, which is better than spending the rest of your life holding grudges against each other."
