"Let's go. Tamara must be eager to see you."
Lance teased before turning to leave, and Amanda had no choice but to follow.
Outside, Tamara showed her tact; she didn't follow them in but waited outside. Just as she was about to ask Lance about the situation upon seeing him emerge, her expression fell at the sight of the person following behind him.
"That's enough. Now, in my presence, this matter between you two ends here. I know both of you are upset, but have you ever considered that your conflicts are entirely baseless, even absurd? You've been hostile for years over the struggles of the previous generation. You became tools in their fight for power and profit, even coming to blows and wishing each other dead. It's both tragic and ridiculous."
Lance's words laid bare the true source of their conflict, which was not really between them.
Neither of them were fools. After hearing this, they both fell into silence, and their animosity gradually subsided.
