Lyre paused before he continued.
"I went shopping yesterday with my brother.
We saw them together in the restaurant; they were very close, and they even laughed together.
As soon as I saw them, I immediately went and asked what their relationship was.
Both of them said that they were just friends.
I wanted to ask more, but my brother pulled me out of the restaurant.
I wanted to call you immediately, but my brother convinced me to tell you in person.
I know they told me that they were just friends, but you can't be too sure.
I even want you to break up with Dwight if your twentieth birthday isn't next month.
That's why I'm settling for the next best thing.
You should learn to be more expressive and learn what I told you about so that Dwight won't be seduced by others."
"I know. I will ask Dwight first about what you said. Thank you for telling me about it."

Ryzel can't quite understand what Lyre shared with him a while ago.
So, from the time Lyre went out of his laboratory, which was two hours ago, until now, he was still lost in his thoughts.
Ryzel's boyfriend is Dwight Barlowe, a high-level sentinel who can be regarded as a talent because he is only twenty-four years old and is already a colonel in the army.
Dwight can be said to have grown up with the support of his family.
His parents were close friends with Dwight's parents. So when Dwight's parents died in a pirate attack when Dwight was twelve years old, his parents took him in.
At that time, Dwight didn't show any sign of differentiating into a sentinel, which is why his relatives didn't want to take care of him. His family provided him with great care and support.
Luckily, Dwight awakened as a sentinel; that's why the support from the family continued even after the death of Ryzel's parents.
When Ryzel's parents were still alive, they even teased him that if he differentiated into a guide, he would be paired with Dwight.
He was still very young at the time, but he already knew what being paired meant, so he strongly refused.
He can still remember that his young self didn't want to be a guide but to stay as an ordinary person because he didn't want to be bound to others.
His parents are a sentinel-guide pair, so for someone like him who doesn't have a high physique, the chance for him to awaken as a guide is very high.
Even if he didn't want to, when he reached the age of fifteen (15), he still differentiated as a guide.
His relationship with Dwight can be said to be very normal; they are not even close to each other because they are busy with their own lives.
Even when he awakened as a guide, their relationship didn't change.
They still treat each other with respect, and when they meet, they just say hello to each other.
Starting three years ago, Dwight started getting closer to him.
He started paying attention to him, giving gifts, and even sending him to school.
Ryzel wasn't accustomed to it and didn't understand what was going on, so he refused many times.
Dwight always reasoned that his parents entrusted him to take care of him, so he should do his best. That's why he can't keep refusing.
After some time, because of the time they spend together, their relationship also gets closer.
One year later, Dwight confessed his love to him.
At that time, Ryzel didn't immediately agree because, even though they got closer to each other, he just treated Dwight as an older brother.
He told his feelings to Dwight, but Dwight said that feelings can be cultivated, so he doesn't need to refuse.
He eventually agreed to be with Dwight because he knew that, as a guide, he needed to get married when he reached the age of twenty.
He didn't have any close relationships with any other sentinel except Dwight. After thinking and considering a lot of things, he eventually agreed.
After confirming their relationship, how they got along didn't change much, except for additional dates and messages.
Dwight was busy in the army, so he didn't have a lot of time to be with him, and he was also busy with his studies.
Not having a lot of time with each other is not an issue for him, as he actually likes spending more of his time in his laboratory.
Ryzel was already satisfied with how they got along, as he really wasn't clingy like others. So, when Dwight proposed to marry him six months ago, he readily agreed.
Their marriage to each other was already scheduled to be held next month.
That is why he didn't understand what Lyre told him. So he can't help but recall their conversation again.
