Lali opens her mouth to speak, but pauses in silence as she processes Gold’s words. Her feelings are mixed. In part, she’s glad that he isn’t pursuing a serious relationship in her, but at the same time, the thought of such a possibility slipping away is mildly saddening for some reason. “That... that’s good... You see, I really like you, Gold, but... I’m just not one to tie myself down in a serious relationship. I’m... sorry if I led you on, but I really just wanted to be ‘friends with benefits’. If you found someone else that you truly loved, I could accept that.”
