10:00 PM. That was the hour you returned Sun-D to me. Out of respect to you I did not reveal your duplicity, but neither will I continue it when there is nothing to gain but indecision.
Do you really think that changes anything? Truly? That I became confused over what time this-or-that happened? All that matters is that it happened, yes? At 10:00... I went to you... I went to bed. That is all.
