[ Nui hadn't thought steven would approach Ginko about all this, so she's caught off guard by what he says. It isn't a secret, of course. She has no intention of lying to Ginko, not about his life and past. That would be cruel. She just hadn't expected this, and for a second she thinks that maybe she should have mentioned something sooner, brought this up when they first met.
But she hadn't known how, or if she should have, so she had simply let it be. Let Ginko continue on with his life. She had no reason to interfere, no right to reconnect with him. He didn't remember her anyway, and it was probably better that way. Easier. (She tells herself this, but she knows it's a lie. She's just hiding, like a coward, from what's important.)
Her tail droops as she looks away from Ginko and towards the forest. ]
Yes, what he said is true. I knew you when you were still a child.
