"Balance..." Riven chewed on the word, a hint of confusion in her eyes.
"Sometimes I feel like my life is off balance. I desperately try to hold onto the sea, because it's the only thing I can be certain of."
"But the more I do, the more I feel like... a lone ship in the ocean."
This was the first time, in front of Lin Yu'an, that she showed vulnerability aside from strength and freedom.
Lin Yu'an was silent for a moment. "Riven, an albatross doesn't need roots. The sky and the ocean are its home. You're not a lone ship, you're an albatross."
The metaphor of the albatross, like a warm ocean current, instantly enveloped Riven's somewhat cold and confused heart.
She turned her head and looked deeply at Lin Yu'an, her blue eyes rippling with something she hadn't even noticed, under the starlight.
Just as the atmosphere became subtly charged, a sudden, urgent and piercing alarm rang out in the cockpit!
"Beep, beep, beep! Beep, beep, beep!"
It was the radar collision warning!
