....You've seen that Zero has returned. [ She presents the topic first, so he might know what sort of conversation this might be. ] He and I talked for a little, but in the end, he-- [ Her voice shakes for a moment, but she takes a steadying breath. ]
He said he would stay away from me. That he maid a promise that he would.
[ She knows it's Lu Meng who made him promise as much. But she wants to give Lu Meng a chance to say something about it, to give his reasoning. A pained thought occurs to her-- if she didn't bring this up, would Lu Meng have told her at all? She's felt no blight, no guilt for him, so clearly he feels it's justified. But to Sanae, this hurts. ]
