Noticing Viviennes low spirits, he gently asked, “Feeling down? Is it because of that person from earlier?”

She was such a strong–willed giri, so she always kept her problems to herself

“Okay” Only when she was with Percival did Vivienne let down her guard. She closed her eyes and fell into a light sleep
