Chapter 55 - Difficult Conversation

"So, uh...what did you want to talk about?" I inquired, as an awkward silence set in. 

"It's about today, of course...honestly, when you transformed, I was really disappointed in you," She remarked, averting her gaze. 

"Yeah, and...? Like I already said, if I hadn't done that, all three of those babies would probably have died. If I'd transformed sooner, all three might still be alive, that's my only regret," I replied with a shrug. 

"That's not the point...don't act like you wouldn't have done that even if you hadn't realized that that guy was already dead," She frowned in response. 

Oh, she's onto me. Viola probably knows too, since she can hear my thoughts...I was glad and relieved that she kept quiet about it. But this kinda negates that relief. 

"Maybe so. But it doesn't change the fact that the outcome would've been a lot worse if I hadn't transformed," I defended myself firmly.
