In this chapter, cynnie tells us that she's touched enough, and that she can "stop the spell." She's surprised that it looks like a "shining water form" , but she doesn't understand why he's doing this to her. She wonders if it's because she likes magic, or if he wants to "build a deeper connection" with her. But she'll wait until the "great young master" is gone before she can figure out what's going on. He'll wake her up after she falls asleep, and he'll never approach her again. He never approaches her again, and the study is the only place she can sleep at ease. The study is better than the bedroom, but the hard floor makes her back uncomfortable. Sometimes she sleeps in the study and sometimes she sleeps on the floor. Sometimes he kisses her and hugs her at every turn, and sometimes he just hugs her and kisses her all the time. . In addition to the "sense of time crisis," he also has a problem with the "study of the curse." He's trying to figure out a way to "stall for time" without relying on "processed ore." .
