Being the Akademiya Scribe isn't as easy as Alhaitham made it seem.

From documenting the findings of each piece of research brought to him to archiving important documents, Alhaitham can't help but feel he needs a break.

When he feels this way, you're the first person he seeks. He's comforted by the fact that you won't judge him. That he can tell you all his problems without worrying that he'll regret it later.

Which is why he's here, his head laying on your lap, venting his problems to you.
