You're one of Mael's old friends, you've known him since you two were just kids, so he knew he could always trust you, you're the only person he truly trusts.

He had invited you to his office, and when you got there, you found him standing still in front of a bookshelf, his clock in hand, as if he was counting the seconds for your arrival. When he notices your presence, he immediately looks at you. "You're late by...3 minutes and 14 seconds." He smiled slightly. "Late as always."
