"Are you really leaving?" Kael inquired, his face reflecting a deep sadness as he stood by the door, reminiscent of a soldier's wife bidding farewell to her loved one embarking on an endless war.
Erwin observed Kael's expression and sorrow, a smile forming on his face. He reassured, "Come on, don't be childish. I'm just moving to a place ten minutes away from here."
After leaving the inn, Erwin returned to his quarters and spent time with his only male friend, Kael. Unfortunately, Kael couldn't join the festivities the previous night due to some unforeseen circumstances.
Since morning, Kael had been behaving in this manner. They had breakfast together, and Erwin treated him to the most extravagant meal on the menu. However, Kael consumed it with a sorrowful expression on his face.
Erwin affectionately patted his friend's shoulder and uttered, "Remember to visit me whenever you have the time, alright? I'll make sure to do the same."
