Because he wasn't sure what approach he should take to be considered normal or effective in solving the problem, the moment he began to speak, he stopped himself.
Faced with the situation before him, there was no other attitude to take, no need for concern over anything else deserving his attention.
"Did I agree to let you speak at this time?" Violet asked with her icy voice.
The chill that one could feel was almost indescribable, especially in the face of such a frosty demeanor.
Any excessive worries he might have about the problem, or hesitations he shouldn't have when facing the situation,
were unnecessary for a deeper understanding or valued judgment of the current issue at hand.
Listening to Violet's statement at this time, regardless of the attitude she intended to convey, regardless of what thoughts were truly in her heart,
it seemed better for him to remain silent, a more effective means to resolve the issue.
