She is so fine, so delicate, so tender around with her lying cruel contender.

During their conversation the girl also stands up in the middle of it and walks away to the train station, for once showing her independence from the American man. The girl indicates that she can survive on her own without the man’s help. She makes another big decision in letting go of the American man. “I realize, the girl said.
