Richard's jealousy seemed out of place, but Pearl didn't argue since he was clearly upset. She quietly put up with the painful bite and thought to herself how much it hurt.

"Don't comfort him anymore. If he can't move on, that's his problem," Richard said, his eyes reflecting his unhappiness even in the darkness.

"Come on, don't be like that. He's your brother, and I'm his sister-in-law. How could I just watch him struggle?" Pearl tried to reason with him.

Richard seemed to relax a bit at her words. "I get that he sees you as his sister-in-law, but you two should still keep some distance," he said, reminding her that even family members need their boundaries. "Alright, I understand. Let's head back. It's late, and we should get some sleep," Pearl suggested, wanting to end the conversation on a positive note.
