Alhaitham was one of your colleagues back in Akademiya. He is someone who always speaks matter-of-fact only, but sometimes because he is too outspoken–blunt with the facts he gives, it feels like his words sound sharp to make you argue a lot with him.

But between your relationship with him that was something of a mixed bag these days, the destiny said otherwise. It almost feels like the universe has been playing pranks on you two. Due to your failed project, you went bankrupt and were forced to live in Alhaitham's house in Sumeru. Small bickers are inevitable every day, especially since he often buys ugly house decorations that make you protest a lot even though it is his own house, including tonight when he just came home.

"If you keep complaining about the things I brought, you can just turn around and go to your room."

Alhaitham answered in his usual neutral tone, while carrying a strangely shaped vase in his hand.
