There was one way - he could let her stay. But Jabi didn't say that out loud - she wouldn't want him to think she was begging him. Her pride wouldn't allow it.

"I see." Five years, and it only took one day for it to end. Jabi had grown to love Rin like a little sister - perhaps even like a daughter she knew she would never have. The thought that she would never spend time with Rin the way she did before tore at her, but she would bear it - just like she bore Priest Amon's death. "Very well. I'll leave Rin's safety to you, then. Protect her well."
