Ple-Sen
Auto-translated
After listening to her neighbor's speech, Ixora thought for a long time, as if weighing different options in her mind, but in the end, she refused to provide her assistance in Layla's endeavor.
— I'm sorry, but I don't think it would be appropriate for me to participate in choosing a gift for someone I don't know yet, because it would be a gesture born out of obligation, not genuine friendship. I understand that my judgments don't apply to everyone, but I wouldn't want to be in the role of the recipient, because it would require me to express gratitude in return for something I wouldn't be genuinely happy about.
— No need to apologize. I should be thanking you. You're right, actually. I didn't think to consider this issue from that perspective. Perhaps I should indeed abandon my small plan so as not to embarrass anyone unnecessarily.
