06.6 Don't be a fool

He stared at me, wide eyed, I don't know if he is scared or if it's just confusion. Whatever it was, I added to it. "You mean a lot to me LiFeng. You give me reason, when everything else that I have known, failed to do so. But I don't want any of us to suffocate each other because of unnecessary burdens and unsaid misunderstandings."

He was fully chimed in with my words, and maybe I am a little sure it's conviction that he has in his eyes. And so, I continued. "What happened to you .. it was brutal. Beyond that. I don't have words to express my disappointment and anger at humanity which resided in your world. However, how you choose to live now, or not, is not decided by your past. It's not that I don't want to trust your sincerity, I do. I just don't trust your hell, LiFeng. And it's fair of me to do so. But I will try, I will .. I will learn how to understand you, accept you, live with you. In return, just .. just try a little for me. Don't keep running away."
