or there would be weird doubts about her, which she couldn't afford yet.
She then looked at the man and nodded her head, "Thank you. I need some time to think about something."
She can't be thinking about everything in front of this stranger. She needed some alone time so she could think through everything and also plan her next steps.
But most importantly, she needs to take care of the weakness that she had felt just a few moments ago.
She can't heal herself in front of this man. She definitely can't.
But she can't tell him the truth. Hence she decided to say that she had to think about something. That way he wouldn't doubt her.
The merman too felt that she made sense and nodded her head. According to him, a person who lost her memories would feel like a deer caught in headlights.
