"The young master is busy right now."
"Busy?"
"Yes... he is extremely busy at the moment,"
Snow initially didn't think much of Yui's response, chalking it up to Riley's usual eccentric obsession with training.
Knowing him, he was likely working on some new technique or pushing his limits in another early-morning routine.
But something about Yui's presence here—her vigilant stance by the door, the faint hint of worry hidden behind her perfectly controlled expression—seemed odd.
Snow sensed there was more going on.
She knew all too well how to read people, and beneath Yui's poker face, she could detect something unusual, something that Yui was clearly trying to conceal.
"Is he doing something dangerous, perhaps?" Snow probed, her voice calm but laced with suspicion.
Yui's response was quick. "No... the young master is just... occupied with important matters at the moment."
