Hi Juris,

Thank you for taking the time to write this and share your perspective.

You make very fair points, and reading this helped me see things from a
better angle. I let my emotions get the better of me in that interaction
with Yuya, and I genuinely appreciate you pointing it out.

I will reach out to Yuya to clear the air, and I'll keep your advice in
mind moving forward. Thanks again for the constructive feedback.

Best regards,
Sepehr
