I understand

Lathel was beginning to feel that Rhea's words, "I understand," were far more terrifying than he had first imagined.

She was still holding his hand, and after declaring that she would "give him a chance to pursue her," Lathel had tried to explain himself two more times, only to fail both times. His right hand was being held by Rhea, while his left alone was not enough to fully express what he wanted to say. The harder he tried to explain, the more the woman in front of him seemed to understand things in an entirely different direction.

In the end, Lathel could only give up and stand there looking at her helplessly.

Rhea did not seem to notice that anything was wrong. She even unconsciously loosened her grip slightly before turning toward the group of Judicators cleaning up the scene.
