After Amos left Elle's room, Annan quickly got dressed.
But he didn't immediately go out.
Instead, he turned around to lock the door and then took out the book from under the pillow—"The Curse and Seal of the Soul"—and started reading it calmly.
Undoubtedly, this was actually the best opportunity.
Amos was a very smart and gentle person.
He would certainly feel apologetic and embarrassed about the offense he had just committed. Although this would not make him comply with Annan's words to do something, at least he would not barge into Elle's room again.
So at this time, even if he thought Elle was staying in the room for too long, he would not barge in again.
Because he would think that this was Elle's punishment for him—in his understanding, Elle must be angry. Leaving him alone outside for more than ten minutes was a kind of petty punishment and also time for Elle to cool down.
