Aiden immediately understood that it was not strange for a patient to want someone to hold their hand; it was simply for the sake of comfort.
Presia had completely lost her memory, and now she lay among a group of strangers, unsure of their intentions towards her. Though they had been reassuring her and telling her they were trying to save her, she obviously wouldn't trust them unconditionally. In such a situation, her wanting someone to grasp her hand was a way of seeking assurance, making sure they truly meant her no harm.
"Warden, may I..." Daili looked toward Aiden, proactively asking for permission.
It seemed that Daili and Presia really did share some acquaintanceship. Judging from Presia's earlier reaction, it appeared she also retained some impression of Daili. Perhaps Daili was the only person present who could give her a sense of security, which was why she reached out her hand in this direction.
"Alright," Aiden granted permission.
