208 Sheyla's internal conflict (part 2)

"It's really not like that, Goro," Sheyla replied, sighing. "I just… I don't know what it is. My heart throbs faster every time I'm near or thinks about him. I've never felt this way before. It's… beautiful, yet disgusting at the same time. You know I despise fragility and would only fake it to approach assassination targets.

"I hate women who go all cute to please others only because it's the current trend in society. Be cute, polite, all smile, slim, delicate, attentive. Fuck all that. I'm not a fucking object to be put on a pedestal, only to serve as decoration to further highlight a man's status or glory."

Ogoro was surprised at her talkativeness.

'She must be very conflicted.'

He knew too well she has always hated being the target of the patriarchy implemented in society, and her behavior towards Aito probably reminded Sheyla of that, leading to an internal conflict between accepting those feelings or rejecting them.
