Clarence felt a presence watching them earlier. It was subtle but undeniable—a lingering gaze from the shadows. Instinctively, he connected his senses to the nearest plant in the building across from his florist. The roots whispered to him, revealing the presence of a single figure. No malice, no ill intent. Just merely observation.

Since he sensed no ill intentions and his intent seemed to be mere observation from afar, Clarence decided to feign ignorance and act like an ordinary person.
