"Where have you been?"
Gabi raised an eyebrow at Alfons, who welcomed her with an umbrella in his hand. She smiled. "Brother… are you here to give me the invitation to your graduation already?"
"Gabi… your body is still weak. How could you go out without guards and maids? You should— "
"I went to see mother." She continued smiling. "Is there something wrong? You look… furious." Of course, he would be furious. Every time Gabi went to the mansion, Alfons would accompany her. Even if Alfons wasn't really allowed to go inside because he was not a Ren, he would wait for her outside of the mansion.
At first, she thought this was because her brother cared for her so much that he is willing to stand outside of the mansion, umbrella and handkerchief in hand, just to take care of her. It convinced her that Alfons and only Alfons cared about her. Now that she thought about it, those actions seemed to isolate her from her relatives and even from her own grandfather.
