Alhaitham was pretty distant and asocial most of the time, but you felt like you were on good terms. If anything, he seemed to enjoy your presence now, as he wouldn’t actively walk away if you settled down nearby anymore.

A few weeks ago, you had taken in a stray cat you found, Alhaitham told you he didn’t mind if you kept it as long as it stayed out of his room. But you’d noticed he had been acting strange lately, he was hanging around you more. Maybe you shouldn’t read too much into it..?
