Confrontation

'Hu… I shouldn't get too worked up. I am supposed to be older than Noel right now…' Anna took a deep breath, trying to calm her heart down. 'I don't know why but whenever I argue with this guy, I can't help but get a bit too excited. I should act more mature…'

'It's probably because I have been too emotionless in the past due to the brainwashing that I haven't got the chance to let go of all my pent-up emotion… And only by bickering like this can I let go of all my frustration.'

'No, no. Why did I make an excuse? I simply have to act like my age.' Anna tried to calm down, but whenever she saw Noel's calm and collected face made her feel slightly annoyed. Noel was supposed to be younger than her, but because of her competitiveness, she thought of his maturity as a little competition in her heart.

She had been like this a lot of times whenever she was with Noel. 'How do I put this in words? I feel like I can become my true self when I'm with him like this?'
