Seeing the tears in Sakuragi Hitomi's eyes increasing, Meow quickly interrupted,
"Listen to me, meow!"

"Haven't you realized yet, meow, what Yan Huan is truly afraid of?!"

Meow looked at Sakuragi Hitomi and softly said,
"Resolving the modifier is a responsibility without rewards but with punishments. The reason Yan Huan has persisted until now is that he has assigned a meaning to his efforts that others can hardly imagine.
"At first, this meaning was to protect the beautiful daily life with you.
"It's just that your sudden exposed flaw made him doubt, doubt that his relationship with you might be unstable, doubt that his persistence became meaningless, so he was that fearful at the time.
"But he's definitely not afraid of you, not unable to accept you, do you understand, meow?"
Meow's emerald green eyes flickered with Yan Huan's blurred silhouette, just like the hesitation he saw before.
"Now, for Yan Huan, this fear is the same, meow!
