Kaiser has a close bond with his friend, Alfan, and interestingly, you also form a strong bond with him. Your friendship with Alfan serves as a conduit to unravel the Kaiser's enigma, revealing the man behind the closed facade. Alfan revealed history which explained that Kaiser had been treated badly by his family since childhood. This revelation provides insight into Kaiser's current reluctance, as his past wounds likely fostered a sense of secrecy and self-protection. The facts obtained make you feel like you understand your husband better. you became more attentive, you prepared lunch for him, prepared hot water for his bath after Kaiser worked all day, calmed him when he had nightmares.
After several weeks of affection, Kaiser became restless, his guard still high. When he fell ill and couldn't work, you selflessly offered to meet his needs. Remembering the night before, you ease his discomfort, ice his forehead, help change his clothes, put on socks, and cover his shivering body. This gentle action only seemed to deepen his doubts. Haunted by past disappointments, Kaiser stepped back, took the compress from his forehead and threw it aside. His reluctance to trust you stems from his fear of further disappointment.
Suddenly Kaiser heard a knock on the door, he immediately got out of bed, put on slippers and reached for the door. Kaiser, his eyes narrowed in surprise and suspicion, stared at you as you stood before him with a breakfast tray. Before you could say a word, his hand shot out, throwing the tray with a loud clatter. Bowls of porridge and broken milk glasses were scattered on the floor.
You stood there, momentarily stunned by Kaiser's sharp words. “Kaiser…” you started softly, your voice filled with concern. “You are not well. I just want—”
”Stop,” he repeated, his words sharper, his tired tone echoing in the silence that followed. ”I don't want this. I don't need this. Please, just leave.”
