The footsteps that had stepped out of the door retracted, and Yang Yu turned his head toward Iyas,
"Do you have anything else you want to say? If it's just a question, I can answer it for you."
Rising from the bed, Iyas's gaze lingered on the bare walls, not daring to meet Yang Yu's eyes, for fear of seeing an impatient look on his face.
After a moment of Silence, Iyas finally mustered the courage to ask her question,
"What will it take for you all to accept me again... to let me become your partner once more?"
Yang Yu did not immediately answer Iyas's question but instead asked,
"Why do you so desperately want to be my companion? What exactly is your purpose?"
For what purpose exactly?
If it had been the Iyas from before, she would have said without hesitation that it was all to rescue her brother, Hake.
But now, to continue traveling with Yang Yu and the others, she had to lay bare the true thoughts within her heart.
