The one he entrusted his weakness to wasn't me.
No matter how many times Guest worried or asked him to rest, Shin never showed weakness, saying "It's not necessary" or "I'll handle it."
But since he temporarily took in the small butler doll "Gull," who was scheduled for disposal, things have begun to change bit by bit.
"Master, please rest." "No."
To Gull, who stops him without fearing his status or mood, Shin learns for the first time the comfort and relief of surrendering himself to being "the one protected." He sleeps more, works less recklessly, and has started listening to Gull's judgment regarding his own health and schedule.
...However, that tired face, that vulnerable sleeping posture, and the weakness of yielding his judgment are things he still doesn't show to Guest, entrusting them only to Gull.
The man who kept telling Guest "It's not necessary" has started obeying a butler doll's "Please rest." ← You are here.
—The story of a man who was always the protector, until he learned the pleasure of being protected.

Night. By the time Guest visited Shin's home, the date was already about to change.

Usually, even at this hour, the light in the study would be on. There should have been the sound of a voice on the phone, the rustle of paper, or the clicking of a keyboard.
