"It's… I thought that since we're this close to the enemies, it might be better to stay in the same room just in case. That shadow figure can easily evade senses especially when we're asleep." She explained.

In reality, Kai was a little apprehensive about this shadow figure and the fact that he couldn't find him when he roamed the city the day of the incident.

He didn't know if he could truly go unnoticed under Kai's senses but now he surely didn't want to test that. Aria was his card to reach his target, losing her now would be problematic. So, if all it took to keep her was to let her inside his room, he didn't mind it.

"Thank you." She said before she walked inside hesitantly.
