I dragged myself out of bed, feeling exhausted. My body lagged behind Mey-Rin as we walked down the halls.

"Do you want to go out to the garden right away to get new bouquets?" Mey-Rin suggested.

I shrugged not really wanting to do anything, so I took her suggestion and went out back. Through my clouded state, I almost forget my conversation with Finny the night before. I never got a response out of him, but I'm hoping that he'll at least see things a little better from my standpoint.

As, I reached the gardens, he was out there pulling weeds.

"Oh, are you here for fresh flowers?" he asked me. "It's a bit early; I'll go fetch some."

Finny went off deeper into the rose garden. He seemed more chipper towards me today, so maybe my apology worked.

While I waited for him, I noticed over to the side that there was a man in a suit sleeping in a doghouse.

What the-

I instantly went over to inspect it, and it was definitely a white-haired man sleeping in the doghouse. I approached him with caution at first and shook his shoulder slightly. He stirred a little, so I shook him a little harder.

"Hello?" I called.

The man stirred some more before letting out a growl.

"(Y/N) don't do that!" Finnian yelled from the other end of the garden.

I looked back in front of me to see that some sort of Demon hound had formed before me.

UH OH!

I quickly ran as the hound let out a fiery breath, barely missing me. I continued to run down the rows as the hound chased after me.

"PLUTO!" Finnian called, holding a tree.

How the-

Finnian quickly threw the tree and the large dog chased after, while I stood there out of breath.

How did that even happen? What is he?
