I couldn't help but notice in the middle of the night. Has my father-in-law put me up to this? When I started thinking about people who aren't here, I couldn't sleep anymore. I didn't fall asleep after a few turns, and it's getting hard lying on my sleeping table.

When I got out of bed, I saw the moon bowed across the window. As I went out to the balcony to be invited to the moon, I saw someone sitting on the bench in the courtyard. That was Phee.

Fee was looking up at the moon with his gown feathered on his sleeping roll. Was he also something that bothered you again? I wanted to talk to him, and I hung him in a chair by the bed too. I put the gown in my hand and went outside when I put my arm through it.

"Fee."

"Yuri. Surprised."

If he called, it was like he was thinking of something. He rounded his eyes and surprised him.

"Yuri. What's up? Can't you sleep?

"Sort of. I think I drank too much."

"Well, sit down."

"Yeah."

Everyone in the mansion, when they were asleep. Only Phee and I are awake this way. Only the sound of bugs comes from my feet, as if wrapped up in the night's smudges. There are only two of us here, Phee and I. I'm starting to feel like I could say anything now.

"Fee, why didn't you tell me?

"What?

"That you're Noah's uncle."

I didn't know he was my brother-in-law, who was a childhood trainer. If I had known sooner. And I couldn't help but think.

"I didn't have to tell you, I thought you knew."

"I had no idea. You could have told me when we met again at the treehouse."

"Noah called me my uncle and naturally thought I knew..."

"I didn't check. I'm sorry, too, but I kind of feel cheated."

And I should have told you to blame me. And they immediately apologized.

"What was Fee doing here? Couldn't Phee sleep either?

"Oh. I wasn't going to sleep and I was awake. I wonder what Anton and the others are doing by now."

"Aren't you asleep?

It's late at night. Phee seems to be misunderstanding something, to say naggingly that she would be asleep.

"Are you still mad at me?," he asked.

"I'm not mad at you anymore. So, listen, what are you two going to do at such a late hour?

"No. That's not what I said. What kind of woman was Anna?

Why are you giving Anna's name here? Apparently that was showing up on my face when I was offended by being given the name of a traitor. Fee's bitter smile returned.

"I'm fine. I don't have any special feelings for that woman."

"I don't care. I don't care who you are."

"Would you mind a little?

Let Fee try to be as obstinate as a child. That was kind of ridiculous.
