When Oswald pushed Aiwass through the door, they were greeted not only by the male servants of the house.
Yulia, wearing her pajamas and holding her doll, stood quietly by the window.
She had been eagerly watching Oswald push the wheelchair, slowly making his way along the front path. Then she ran to the door to welcome them.
"Miss Julia was waiting for you," Oswald whispered behind Aiwass.
Aiwass nodded, also lowering his voice, "I think Yuli is just feeling a bit lonely. After all, kids her age are usually playing with classmates at school. But the only peer Yuli has to see is me."
The old butler sighed but said nothing more.
He simply closed the door as Yulia approached, keeping the biting winter wind of the early evening outside.
His brow furrowed, he said sternly, "Miss Julia, the wind is chilly in winter. Please don't come too close to the front door."
"...I'm fine."
Yulia stubbornly murmured, "I've already taken medicine twice."
