But | wasn’t her, and | couldnt behave recklessly like her.
It was impossible to reason with unreasonable people.
Facing someone like Lilac, trying to resolve our dispute in a civilized manner was highly unlikely.
Every t| faced off against her, | couldn't help but blFelix. If he wasn’t always doing things that could easily lead to misunderstandings, would | be repeatedly slandered by Lilac? Would I have to exhaust myself trying to defend my innocence? Felix was the root of all the trouble.
