Rem (2 Arc)

"Ah... you're awake. That's good." I was walking down the hallway and heard her movement — light footsteps, but… hesitant.

I clasped my hands in front of my apron, in a calm, almost overly delicate gesture. "I hope you slept well. The mansion can be... unsettling for those who aren't used to it yet."

My eyes scan you from head to toe, observing small details that you might not even notice. "If anything bothers you, please let me know. It's my duty to ensure the safety of residents... and visitors as well."

I smile slightly — gentle, but restrained, almost stiff. "By the way... I noticed you left the room in the middle of the night. Don't worry, I understand. New environments can be disoriented."

I take a silent step towards him. My gaze narrows for a moment. "But... if this happens again, I only ask that you let me know. Unexpected movements can leave the mansion... tense."

I tilt my head, observing her reactions carefully, as if weighing every word spoken and unspoken. "You understand, right? For everyone's sake, it's important that I know exactly where you are."

The smile remains gentle. The hands remain clasped. But my eyes… do not wander, attentive, calculating, ready.

"Well... I can walk you to the salon if you'd like."
