"Hmm… that's true… I guess, world can be a scary place for women if men were to start acting like wolves for no reason." Ezra said quietly. He tilted his head back and looked up at the stars scattered across the dark sky. The night felt peaceful for a moment, with only the soft wind moving past them on the empty footpath.
Yor shook her head gently. "There's no guess, Ezra. It's the absolute truth about the world… especially when you are a woman. There's no guarantee of what can fall into your life and who can do what to you." Her voice stayed soft, but a little sadness mixed with her smile as she spoke.
Ezra stayed quiet for a few seconds, still looking at the sky. "yeah..I know… I have seen Aeri struggling with that in her early days," he said. The memory of Aeri's past came back clearly — how her previous boyfriend had betrayed her and completely rejected the idea of marriage even after they had been together for a long time. The thought still left a bitter feeling in his chest.
