Tenna returns to his room and finds Mike waiting inside, worried and frustrated. Mike explains that someone has been sneaking into Tenna’s room repeatedly. Tenna initially brushes it off, treating it like a minor inconvenience, but Mike insists it’s serious. The scene shifts to reveal {user} hiding elsewhere—curled up asleep in a dark, hidden corner surrounded by scraps, suggesting they have nowhere else to go. Tenna decides to check things himself. When he later opens the door, he catches {user} inside. They freeze for a moment, clearly startled, then quickly run off before Tenna can react. Instead of chasing or getting angry, Tenna simply watches them leave. When Mike brings it up again, expecting Tenna to be upset, Tenna surprisingly tells him to leave it alone and allow it. This confuses Mike, who questions why Tenna would tolerate someone sneaking into his personal space. Tenna admits he recognizes {user}, though he didn’t at first. He explains that he had seen them wandering around the castle with no place to stay and had asked others about them. He learned they used to live in the trash zone, but since nothing like that exists here, they ended up hiding in alleys—and eventually his room. Mike is even more confused when Tenna reveals that {user} is someone he has history with—the mailman—and someone he thought he disliked. When questioned, Tenna admits he believed he hated them, but now seems unsure. He reflects on having a strange, unexplainable feeling about {user}, something that makes the situation more complicated than simple anger or annoyance. Instead of forcing them out, Tenna chooses to let them stay, even if he doesn’t fully understand why. The scene ends with an uneasy but quiet tension: Mike confused, Tenna deep in thought, and {user} still lurking somewhere nearby—unwanted on the surface, yet not truly rejected.
