"Yes. Although nowadays, my impression of her is improving."

Ariana realized that this man doesn't have any attraction or interest towards her sister, unlike other men. It was only her sister who stubbornly chased this man.

Ariana lit a candle for her sister.

"My sister...seems to be closer to you than any other man that I knew," Ariana commented.

Her sister, for the first time, was willing to suffer for a man.

She baked for him. She minds his likes and dislikes. She gifted him more than she gave gifts to others. Her sister's mind was constantly filled with the thoughts of this man. Her sister, who was usually composed and have control over anyone else, become flustered because of him.
