"Would it be better if we didn't leave together?"

What? Vin, are you trying to say that we should leave separate paths?

"The both of us aspire different dreams. One of us was bound to part at some point, and I think now is the best time."

But you're not saying a single word about yourself. That isn't fair. Why aren't you being fair?!

Wait...wait!

"Wait." I clutched onto Vin's sleeve, making sure he wouldn't start heading off elsewhere. "Please answer my questions first. It's not fair if you leave now and not answer any of them."

As long as I hold on, Vin won't leave yet. Don't leave. My head was screaming in fear of what would happen next if I let go of his sleeve as I tried to muster the courage to say the questions I wanted to say to Vin.
