For the most part, there wasn't much to do
Ahin would just follow me around when I went around the mansion while Rika stayed with Einar.
If nothing else Einar and Rika found each other to be good company and became friends. And honestly, I was happy for them.
Ahin would just follow me around when I went through the halls of the mansion—silent, unreadable, a shadow in a guard's uniform. He never complained, never questioned, just walked a step behind me, watching everything like it was a threat.
At first, I hated the weight of it.
I didn't like being watched. It was a weird feeling. But Ahin… he never made me feel weak. His presence wasn't suffocating. It was just there. Like a steady breeze behind my back.
It was strange how quickly I got used to it.
