Reason and emotion are like a pair of rebellious twins.
They argue with each other, shout insults, and occasionally come to blows.
But,
when the stakes are high enough, emotion will always give way.
Because—
Emotion: Reason is right!
Of course, that's not without exceptions.
There are, many times over.
For example: Love and affection!
The love between men and women!
The love of parents!
The affection between friends!
These can all make reason crumble and admit defeat to emotion.
Unfortunately for Yekaterina, there's none of this when it comes to Arthur.
Similarly, Arthur has none of this for Yekaterina.
In Yekaterina's eyes, Arthur is nothing more than a business partner who maintains the dignity and interests of the West Berlin Family.
And in Arthur's eyes?
Yekaterina is even more direct—a pawn!
Not just Yekaterina, but also her father, the Marquess of West Berlin, is a pawn!
