Even when he heard Senior Sister Lily say that, deep down, he still felt it was somewhat overthinking and overly sentimental.
It was just an ordinary rescue.
No matter who was there that day, whether it was Elanna, Hassaka, Lily, or anyone else, Kael would have chosen to help.
Within his capabilities, he was willing to reach out to others.
However, it was this very "within his capabilities" that made Lily's eyes shimmer every time she remembered it, with a silent yet determined desire to keep him in her heart.
He realized at that moment that she was a girl who lost her parents during her childhood.
She was starved for love but feared being loved.
When someone showed her kindness with no expectations of return, it was easy to touch her deeply.
If it happened to be a rescue after an emotional breakdown, it could easily leave a lasting impression on her.
