Yumi returned with a coffee and gently placed it next to me. I gave her a pat on the head and a smile. I wanted to show some gratitude as well as make sure she wasn't too scared of me.
'I hope she understands that I cannot show her too much kindness in this place, not until I know I am safe.' Looking at Yumi's face, I saw her blush and relax a little, which was a good sign. However, I didn't want her to accidentally get killed because she got too comfortable, so I glared at her to move away.
She quickly tensed up and walked back to the door, but this time she didn't tremble. Perhaps she understood what my intentions were, but only time will tell. I haven't even spent a day in here, so I have no idea how things operate behind the scenes.
'Let's go through what I learned from the journal.' I thought about the contents and tried to explain to myself the history of my family.
