However, he showers her with resources and resources. Later, after recognizing her true feelings, he thinks he will be entangled with her for life. After the female protagonist experiences a change, he feels somewhat estranged from her. While the male protagonist becomes increasingly despondent, she remains clear-headed and pessimistic.
