Gwen's demise served as the ultimate confirmation.

Hence, for the sake of avoiding future complications or ensuring Gwen's safety, James decided it was best not to develop romantic feelings for her.

He couldn't afford to drag Gwen out of Peter's protective shadow and into another perilous situation.

Even as James would ascend as a Zodiac Knight in the future, it seemed futile. The Zodiac Knights couldn't even shield their own goddess. Saori's survival through numerous crises was solely due to her destiny.

Gwen, unlike Saori, lacked that resilience. A single misstep could prove fatal, breaking her neck in an instant.

If their interactions were merely friendly exchanges and nothing more, James wouldn't mind continuing. But if it led to deeper emotions, it would be akin to inviting trouble.

"Thank you," Gwen said earnestly, unaffected by James's cautious demeanor. "You know who I am."

"Yeah, I do," James replied casually. "If you need books, feel free to get them yourself. And if you like this spot, I'll make sure to clear it out for you."

Gwen sighed, "You don't have to pretend. I know it's you. If you're worried about exposure or don't want to admit it, I won't force you. I also believe the police misunderstand you. You're not someone who recklessly harms innocents."

Coughing lightly, James attempted to deflect the conversation, pointing behind Gwen, "Hey, look, isn't that Mr. Will passing by?"

Gwen glanced back, spotting a white-haired man in a black vest. As James spoke, Mr. Will interjected, acknowledging James's non-violent nature but teasing him for his evasive skills.

After Mr. Will left, Gwen inquired about James's familiarity with him. James explained their connection, albeit subtly urging Gwen to depart.

Undeterred, Gwen sat beside James, prompting him to reconsider her sitting position given her skirt. Ignoring James's hint, Gwen hugged his arm, indicating a close relationship.

As their conversation continued, Gwen subtly hinted at her suspicion of James being Sentinel, citing various observations. Despite James's denials, Gwen's deductions left him sweating with anxiety.

Their interaction concluded with James standing up abruptly, unable to fabricate more lies. Gwen pursued him, expressing her disbelief and excitement at having a superhero acquaintance.

In the midst of their dialogue, Gwen hinted at Peter's awareness of James's identity, cautioning James to treat Jessica well to prevent exposure.

Later, in the classroom, Gwen stumbled upon a familiar formula written by Peter, sparking mutual astonishment and curiosity about its origin and significance.
