Watching Maia leave, Misho released a sigh of relief.
He turned his head to SophiaCat. She obsessively focused on her interface, distracting herself from the enslavement.
"How about you?" Misho asked Pear.
"Me?" Pear blinked her eyes. "Well… If you want, we can take a bath together?"
"Flora, too!" Flora jumped in-between him and Pear.
"I don't think we can do what you're both thinking in the castle…" Misho said, scratching his nose.
"That's a shame…" Pear frowned and pouted.
"Excuse us," a male voice spoke from behind the door.
"Hm?" Misho turned towards the doorway.
The door opened, revealing Rafael.
He had a bandage wrapped around his head, presumably covering a wound.
"It's you…"
As Rafael pushed the door further open, he revealed Natalia behind him.
"Good morning. …I hope."
Natalia's eyes fell on the burn marks on the carpet.
"Yeah… That's nothing. Good morning, I suppose?"
