"Sister!"
Angelina jerked her head up; she felt as if she had gathered every last bit of her courage just to dare say these words:
"You don't understand at all. You've already obtained what you wanted, but I have nothing. As for my feelings toward Shard..."
"What I mean is, what you truly want is far more than just that."
At that level, matter‑of‑fact voice, Angelina unclenched her tightly balled fists and lowered her head again.
The girl by the window gave a soft sigh:
"You are our little sister—how could we ever try to stop you? Angelina, we are your closest family. On this trip to Moon Bay, you need to talk less and do more. See clearly what it is you really want. When you come back, answer that question again in front of us: what do you truly desire?"
"I understand, Sister."
