Nigel listens to Arlia bravely recount what had happened to her in silence, feeling his anger toward Adriano build once more, although the man was dead, now. Once she was finished, Nigel does the first thing that comes to mind: he brings her into a loving kiss, trying to tell her through the action that she was safe, that he truly loved her, and he would die before letting something like that happen to her again. Moments later, he breaks away and whispers, "I am going to spend the rest of my life doing all I can to make you feel like the most important person in the universe, because that's who you are to me. No longer will you have to degrade yourself like that. As long as I'm alive, I will do all I can, and then some, to ensure you can live as normal a life as possible."
