Nathan’s return felt like a change, and yet, somehow, nothing had really changed.

Yannis came home alone. He stared at the quiet house for a long moment before finally clearing away the cold food on the table. He sat quietly in the living room for what felt like an eternity, gradually easing the loneliness in his heart.

He and Zinnia had been around each other for so long that solitude felt unfamiliar now. Yannis rubbed his forehead, thinking, ‘Funny how easily habits form and how hard they are to break.’

He had gotten used to the noise and the feeling of someone always waiting at home. Now that she was suddenly gone, the silence was harder to accept than he expected.

Zinnia blocked the doorway as Nathan tried to see her out. “You don’t have to do this. Just stay home and get some rest. I’ll be back after school and bring you something delicious, okay?”

She knew he had flown back overnight and hadn’t had a proper rest.

Zinnia looked at Nathan with concern. “Your cough is pretty bad. You really shouldn’t take it lightly. Just rest at home, okay? If you need anything, just order it on your phone.”

Nathan took the backpack from Zinnia’s hands. “I’m not tired at all. This is my first time walking you to school here in Jinston. Honestly, I’m quite curious what your school is like.”

“Didn’t you want to keep who you are secret? With your striking looks, you’ll be noticed the moment you go out,” Zinnia protested, blocking his way.

Nathan was all covered up yesterday, only his eyes showing above the mask, but still, that was more than enough to draw people’s gaze.

Besides, Zinnia heard that someone was targeting her, and all she could think about was whether Nathan would get caught up in it.

“I’ll just stay in the car. I promise I won’t get out,” Nathan said after a moment’s thought.

Zinnia hesitated briefly and said, “Alright then.”

They took the elevator down, and as soon as they reached the ground floor, they saw Emily and Stephen, who stared at Nathan warily.

“Emily, this is my mentor. Yannis knows him. He’s taking me to school, so you don’t have to come with me,”

Zinnia said.

There was too much going on last night, so Yannis didn’t have time to tell Emily and Stephen about Nathan yet.
