He could tell exactly what she wanted to bring up. A faint, helpless smile tugged at his features without him noticing.
“I understand p>
He slowly lowered his helmet faceplate once more, hiding his warm, flushed features away.
Lyra tilted her head, looking uncertain.
Hadrien noticed.
“What’s wrong p>
Lyra gestured briefly, then typed quickly on her device.
“Does that faceplate block airflow? Your face is all red from being trapped in there p>
Hadrien fell quiet for a beat.
“It’s a little stifling, yes p>
“Then crack it open just a tiny gap! I’m a Guide. I can shield you against the influence of psychic monsters p>
She patted her chest confidently.
Now that she’d officially secured the chief administrator as her personal guard, her confidence had shot straight up.
Hadrien let out a quiet laugh.
“…I was simply nervous p>
Lyra smiled.
“I was nervous and embarrassed just now, but my face didn’t turn red p>
Hadrien’s gaze dropped to rest on her, his tone soft with quiet tenderness.
“That makes you remarkable p>
Lyra grinned.
She bit her lower lip, watching him with meaningful eyes.

Hadrien shook his head helplessly. He knew she hadn’t forgotten about Jessa.
“I’ve heard you. I’ll personally bring her supplies to her cell to be safe p>
Lyra nodded in agreement.
Right. She’d seen enough dramas to know captives sometimes got silenced permanently.
Her biggest worry settled, she tilted her chin toward the corridor, signaling they should head back to Building Three.
Hadrien nodded. “Let’s go p>
As they walked, curious stares drifted toward them every few steps.
Hadrien turned toward her. “Something you want to say p>
Lyra shook her head, then pulled out a small notepad and pen to write.
Out in open corridors, she dared not let her Star Brain broadcast her words aloud for anyone to overhear.
“I just find it strange. I still can’t wrap my head around how you, a mighty chief administrator, agreed so easily when I asked you p>
Hadrien took the slip of paper from her.
“The title of chief administrator is nothing more than an empty label. At our core, we are all Sentinels p>
Lyra scribbled another line, “So, Chief Sentinel, what’s your current contamination level p>
At that new nickname, Hadrien glanced over to see her beaming happily.
A smile pulled at his lips in response.
“I haven’t taken a reading in some time. Though I believe it remains within manageable limits p>
Lyra typed her next question, “What’s your secret for keeping contamination from spiking too high p>
There was a faint trace of self–mockery in Hadrien’s voice.
“The secret is to stay off battlefields and avoid unnecessary turmoil p>
Lyra stared at his back, pausing briefly before hurrying to catch up.

“Do you want to go to the battlefield p>
“I once did,” he said, turning his head to meet her gaze. “Not anymore p>
A Sentinel with a Guide only craves to stay close and keep her safe, to ensure no harm ever touches her.
He would march into battle only if it meant securing peace for her.
Lyra felt the heavy weight of his gaze through the helmet, and her mind drifted back to the solemn oath he’d spoken moments earlier.
Changing the subject, she jotted more notes.
“I remember you were suspicious of me once. How come things have shifted now p>
Hadrien’s tone carried hidden meaning.
“Aren’t you suffering from memory loss?
“You act purely on instinct, and you have never harmed anyone. What reason would I have to doubt you p>
Lyra lowered her head, a flicker of guilt stirring inside her.
Before long, the entrance to Building Three stood before them.
Hadrien lowered his voice.
“Some people already know about your situation, but keep things quiet. There may be people from the White Citadel inside p>
Lyra nodded in understanding.
“I’ll carry on just as I always have p>
Hadrien hummed in acknowledgement, then added a warning.
“Think carefully before building your personal guard. Do not trust someone simply because they seem decent p>
Lyra nodded again.
She turned to head inside.
Hadrien spoke up before she could step through the doorway.

“I could transfer your attendant post closer to me. You may take breaks whenever you need p>
Lyra stared at him with a curious expression.
Hadrien tilted his head. “Not satisfied p>
Lyra shook her head with a smile.
It was just her first time experiencing what it felt like to get the easy way out, and it felt pretty novel.
“It’s not that. I like this job. It lets me interact with the Sentinels regularly, so I don’t want a transfer p>
Hadrien read the written note.
Lyra watched him, and slowly a chill crept over her spine.
She lifted her head and looked at the sky.
Why had it suddenly gotten colder?
A faint clattering sound echoed down the hall.
“Mr. Vale p>
The attendant covering her shift rounded the corner, pushing a food cart.
Hadrien folded the note away, slipping back into his usual cold, unsmiling demeanor.
“Mm. You’ve covered extra shifts these past few days. Thank you for your work p>
The attendant shook his head quickly.
When he spotted Lyra returning, he knew his hard days were finally over.
He truly did not want to serve those difficult guys anymore.
Looking toward Lyra, he asked, “Are you taking over now p>
Hadrien also turned to her, waiting for her answer.
Lyra nodded at once.
She’d missed all the fuzzy spirit animals!

“Alright,” the attendant addressed Hadrien. “Mr. Vale, I’ll head back to my regular station p>
Hadrien waved a hand.
Finished
“No need. You may go rest for the remainder of the day. You will receive full shift pay p>
The attendant’s eyes lit up.
“Thank you, Mr. Vale p>
He finished handing over his supplies and hurried off, elated.
Once the man was out of sight, Hadrien stepped forward and hauled the heavy food cart forward with one hand.
Lyra’s expression turned earnest.
Her Star Brain emitted its flat robotic tone. “Thank you, Mr. Vale p>
Hadrien shot her an amused glance.
“I’ll walk inside with you p>
Lyra nodded.
Inside the cell block, the confined Sentinels were growing drowsy with boredom.
Their spirit animals suddenly perked up, ears and heads lifting in alertness.
Then two sets of footsteps echoed through the corridor.
“…Lyra?” Rhys‘ voice echoed, filled with disbelief.
Lyra exchanged a quick smile with Hadrien and stepped forward to unlock the window of Rhys‘ cell.
A low, rumbling call echoed out.
The round–headed orca poked its snout through the opening, pressing its head against Lyra like an affectionate puppy begging for attention.
