Later that evening, Cleo was reviewing the daily reports from the maid bots stationed in Rex's room. While most of the updates were routine, meal schedules, vitals, and exercise recommendations, one report caught her attention.
Every day, without fail, the maid bots observed Ys staring intently at the same spot behind Rex's bed. The spot that, according to their sensors, was completely empty.
Cleo leaned back in her chair, her wings twitching slightly as she processed this information. A faint frown crossed her lips, and she closed the reports with a flick of her wrist.
The next time Ys came to visit Rex, Cleo intercepted her in the hallway outside his room. She raised an eyebrow, her usual smirk playing on her lips. "What's this? Cleo, are you jealous I'm spending so much time with my darling?"
