For the next eight days, Rowena came to Lane's office to treat Michael like clockwork. As a Holy Maiden, she had no need to help Michael at all. But she was not an ungrateful person. Ghost saved her mother and sister. So Rowena was just returning the favor. Even if she knew Ghost was the Dark Lord, she would have still helped him. On the ninth day after Rowena left Lane's office, Gaya sat on the chair beside Michael, holding his hand as usual.
When Lane asked why she was staying with him, Gaya simply said it was her duty to keep every student alive. She also informed him she wanted to be with Ghost in case he woke up. She wanted to be the first one to know what happened to him, at least that's what she said to Lane. The office was gloomy and dark. Except for Michael, only silence and grief accompanied Gaya. Seconds turned minutes and minutes turned hours.
