unclear just when Ren had started having feelings for her.
“When you were five years old, you were just a little brat that kept pestering me. You would not only tear up my homework, but
you would even snatch my pen away from me. When you couldn’t get what you wanted, you'd even start crying out loud. You were

when she was still a child, but it was the skind one would have for another adult. She had held a small place in his heart until
it was gradually fully filled by her.
