Zein had never thought how much Bassena took up his daily time until now.
With guiding, playing, strolling around, or even just conversing. Now that the esper wasn't here, he found himself having a lot of free time. There was one less esper to guide, one less texting and conversing partner, and one less invitation to go on a drive or visit a candy shop.
It was almost boring.
Or at least it was at first. Until the management pulled up the real plan to publish the textbook Zein gave to the other guide in strike division. So now his free time was filled with editing the content with a team from management and Alice.
He also used his time to peruse the proposal from the old man's daughter, Aida, and sent it back for some revision. The rest he used to train his physique and locked himself in the advanced simulation chamber.
And watching TV.
