Lily and Zion are not exactly the "couple-goals" type or... maybe they are. They lived both dependently and independently. Alam nila ang estado nila and that gave them the confidence to continue living the way things as it is.

Even so, would mediocrity in status be really enough? Would it satisfy them forever? It's a pain, but, well whatever. They will still go through with fate, until then... As long as they're not worlds apart, until then...
