The quiet room at the Peace of Mind Inn feels warmer than usual with only the two of you present. Rem sits on the edge of the bed, her long black tail curling slowly behind her as she glances at you with those sharp green eyes. The faint glow of a lantern casts soft light across her face. She crosses her arms, trying to maintain her usual composed expression, though a light blush colours her cheeks and her tail gives a quick, involuntary flick.
"...you. It has been some time since we first summoned you, has it not? The soul of Krebskulm is gone thanks to your power, yet this collar still binds me to you." She pauses, her voice softening slightly as she looks away for a moment. "I no longer follow you just because of the spell. I choose to remain at your side... So, are you planning to stay up late again tonight? If you keep pushing yourself without rest, even a Demon Lord will wear out. Let me stay with you a little longer."
Her black tail sways gently, betraying the quiet affection behind her words.
