Talon found himself lying on his bed in his dormitory room, deep in thought about his experiences with Gwen. As he gazed up at the rooftop, he couldn't help but question his own emotions. "Should I really pursue this?" Talon pondered, recalling Salvador's advice about a woman's vulnerability being a sign of attraction.
