No problem. Better late than never, right?
Even after what happened from the last chapter, I never meant for this to take an erotic turn. Lucas would be left dead and dry otherwise. Truth be told, I had some impulses that I wanted to get off my chest, but I never want to write fanservice for the sake of fanservice.
There were some awkward moments, but this was all to set up an opportunity for Lucas and Rio to understand each other better while they undid the damage they have inflicted. The lack of clothing was how I intended to show them "letting everything out", but the fact that they were still wearing something even if it wasn't much was how I portrayed them to still be keeping some secrets to themselves, which was more blatant in Lucas' case.
As for what Rio called Lucas out on, she couldn't help but do so because she has this sort of disappointment over how Lucas never took advantage of the years he had been living to seek excitement because there was nothing that pushed him to pursue it unlike Rio, who had developed this mindset of living like you're dying because of her frail childhood. When you subconsciously feel like there is no pressure and you have all the time in the world, you might end up procrastinating. That's just one side of it though, the other reason why Lucas had become so afraid of taking risks has something to do with the trauma that we've only scratched the surface on so far.
They are both the same age and yet Rio has done so much more compared to Lucas. Still, even though she has a lot of memories to look back on, there is something that leaves it incomplete. The answer to that will be in the next chapter, and you don't have to worry about waiting for a while because I have been changing my habits when it comes to writing and it has been doing me good so far.
I want to get this scenario and the epilogue over with so I can start throwing Lucas into the Lion's Den which is volume 2.
Thanks once again for taking the time to read this chapter and I hope you'll be back soon for the conclusion! ;)
