Something like a head butler?

[ Taking a shot in the dark. ]

[cumulative]

Yes. Though it's only the two of us... but he would be the head of staff, regardless.

[recession]

If there's only one person on the job, I guess they're effectively their own boss.

[ That's fair. ]

What's he like then?

[cumulative]

He's... been very protective of me for some time, now. I'm the younger of us, s-so we were raised together when we were smaller, and he always helped care for me.

[recession]

...?

You're of similar age? Well actually, I guess you'd have to be with circumstances considered.

[ The max age gap they could have is what, 5 years? 6 if he's on his deathbed? ]

[cumulative]

O-oh... yes, he's- nineteen? He doesn't intend to become a Reliver, either.

[he really forgot to tell daan about those huh. oops!]

[recession]

[ No Mathis told him. He went to Lucas afterwards like so...... ]

Under normal circumstances, I'd almost consider that something like a big sibling more than a caretaker and butler besides...

[cumulative]

Well, yes... I always sort of... saw him as another brother of mine, despite our positions.

[recession]

That's nice. Even if it's not quite, it's good to have someone who's like family around you.

[cumulative]

... y-yes. It is. [he could stand to look happier about that.] He's still all that I've had.

[recession]

[ Looking at his expression, evaluating it, like he's trying to read it. ]

Not so much a happy story?

[cumulative]

.... n-no. It... isn't.

[hard to say in what sense, though.]
