Hundao let out a nervous laugh, scratching the back of his head in embarrassment. "Sorry for making you worry, Kalarkan. Please let the instructor know that I'm feeling better now."
"Of course, I'll let him know how you're doing. He probably doesn't need to worry about you anymore. Anyway, I'm sure he has plenty of other things to deal with at the moment."

Honestly, that makes me a bit uneasy. I used to trust anyone she accepted without question, but now things feel different." Hundao paused, then asked, "Why do you think she's changed her approach?"
