The Next Day
Rory woke early.
The moment Nix opened the door, he saw the little rabbit curled up outside.
"Cotton Candy? Why are you sleeping outside Rory's door?"
So Rory's suspicion had been right. This rabbit definitely wasn't normal.
What kind of ordinary rabbit would worry so much about its owner that it would sleep outside their door all night?
A normal animal simply wouldn't have that kind of awareness.
"Cotton Candy… are you worried about Rory?"
Nix crouched down and picked up the rabbit, his expression full of concern.
"I'll take you to see her. Rory is sitting on the balcony getting some sunlight. Once you're beside her, you have to stay quiet, okay? Don't disturb her."
Aren lay quietly in Nix's arms without moving, but he carefully memorized every word.
The Female Master needed quiet rest. He must not disturb her.
Nix carried the rabbit over to the balcony and spoke gently to Rory, who was sitting there.
