Those are words that make Veronika take a step back, as if something burnt her. Although it is a mere affirmation, it feels like a warning or perhaps a subtle indicator of his future actions. That is enough to make her feel a certain degree of concern over his wellbeing. Her heart begins to beat faster, as if confirming that her anxiety has some foundation and reasoning to it. Her eyes fix on him, as Veronika cautiously looks at him, silently trying to figure out the meaning behind those words and whether she needs to concern herself with it. She begins scanning his expression and his gestures, her silence speaking louder for a while, echoing louder than any words, before eventually, she clears her throat.

❝ ...what is that supposed to mean? ❞ Her voice sounds a bit uncertain, a key too high, as if she allows that composed facade slip. It's not that bad, she thinks, despite reprimanding herself internally. If there is anything she wishes to avoid is seeing the ones whom she loves, be hurt. That is why, Veronika does not scold herself too harshly for allowing herself become slightly emotional. That is just a fraction, a small piece of herself that she allows to surface. In a way, she wonders if he knows and that is why he says such things.

This time, Veronika lifts her chin, her eyes darting to finally face his crimson ones and for a second, she fails to breathe. ❝ You're not going to do something foolish, are you? ❞ The tone of her voice is mixed with concern and slight exasperation. Sometimes, Veronika fails to understand his reasons and that makes her feel uneasy. It's those moments when she cannot figure out his intentions that made her feel slightly off. The lack of control is what shakes the stability she so much loves.

She just focused on fulfilling her duties, with a disregard for anything else, be it herself or what she actually wants. That deteriorated to the point that if asked now, she would say she has no wishes, that she doesn't want anything and just waits for the day when her life ends.

Veronika has grown so accustomed to hearing that once she stops being useful people will leave her, that she stopped trying to get close to anyone, keeping them as mere acquaintances. She does not let them cross the line, nor crosses it herself. One of the reasons for this is that she does not believe she will live long. She is in a role where her life is in danger constantly, however, Veronika accepted that as the consequence of her action. It's not that she is necessarily reckless or jumps into danger for the sake of ending everything. She acknowledges that this would one day happen, therefore she does not do anything to stop it. It's a logic of if it happens, then it happens.

Veronika is not particularly attached to life either. She lives because she is alive, but that is it. That is why she does not truly mind if one day she were to die. There is nothing she looks forward to because all that has been stripped away from the moments when she was a child. Since she faced rejection from such an early age, the more she grew up, this rooted in the wrong ways inside her mind, until she simply stopped looking forward to anything. She has deemed herself as someone who is temporary anyways in people's life, thus if she vanished, it wouldn't have any impact anyway.
