"I'm sorry, Kyle," Nellie moved back to Pannis's side, sitting close to him as she whispered, "I don't want to force you to do this either, but it's the only solution. For everyone, this is the best choice."
"You don't need to explain, my dear," Pannis replied with a weary smile, shaking his head, "I actually understand your thoughts all too well."
"Heh, yes, you've always been such a clever fellow," Nellie turned her head to kiss Pannis's cheek, smiling as she said, "In fact, you understand everything. You understand my situation, you feel my pain, you know exactly what I want, and even though you forced me to explain my plan earlier, I know you actually just wanted to spend more time with me. As for my plan, my current state, you've seen through it all long ago. I get it, so I cooperated. If possible, I'd like to keep on cooperating, but I'm afraid, my dear, circumstances no longer permit, and we're running out of time. Every wasted minute is a danger, and torture for me."
