Why had he felt annoyed when Xon clung to him desperately in the past, even considering to cheat? if he could turn back time, he swore he wouldn't make the smistake. Perhaps his casual dismissiveness had hurt her. From now on, he resolved to cherish and protect her, to make up for his past indifference a thousandfold.
