Maldie was still in shock, but also impressed by Gari for saving Haru. Haru couldn't move.
The maid clenched her fist and gritted her teeth.
"I can't believe this. I'll gut that son of a bitch who tried to hurt your child," she said, squeezing her hand until it nearly bled.
"Wow, I've never seen you that mad," Gari added.
"G‑Gari," Haru stammered, frightened, "thank you for saving our child. I should've been more careful."
Ayame made herself comfortable.
"Haru, take my hand. You'll shield my mind from unwanted intruders while I travel through others' dreams and memories. I need to find out who tried to do this to you. Gari will help watch over us, too."
"Huh? You can do that? That's amazing!" Haru replied, surprised.
Ayame looked at him with sympathy.
"I helped you once like this before, but it's both my blessing and my curse to remember."
