Today, Genshin’s ghost is back.
Barok sits with him outside. Another seat has been set out, and once Genshin takes his place, shimmering and barely visible, Barok asks himself whether or not Kazuma will spot his elusive father from the window.
“You haven’t been sleeping well,” Genshin’s ghostly figure observes.
It’s true. Genshin was always good at seeing through Barok; no matter that he’s the one Barok can see though clearly now.
“I’ve had a lot on my mind.” Barok’s explanation is weak. Genshin studies him, and Barok avoids his eyes.
An icy touch to his wrist makes him startle.
