In the morning, Ellery saw that his terminal was lighting up with new messages, but he didn't want to look at them yet. He slowly washed his face and mouth before going downstairs to order his breakfast.
As he sat at the table waiting, Ellery finally understood where Aster was coming from when he said his energy was drained and he only wanted to be alone.
Even as he watched his terminal light up like a Christmas tree, he didn't want to answer any of them at the moment because he just wanted to rest by himself a little longer.
After breakfast, he went to check up on his vegetable garden and the spiritual plants in the greenhouse and found everything to be alright. They were already watered, so all he needed to do was inject his spiritual energy into the soil.
He already picked up what he needed for this week's stabilizers, and his workers had already picked up the vegetables that were ripe and ready to be sold or used for meals at the estate.
It was much easier to have other people helping him.
Once he finished his morning routine, he finally checked his terminal and saw he had hundreds of messages from friends, instructors, and his manager.
He looked at the messages from his manager first and saw that they had already put together a schedule that would suit him. Whenever he had to guide Akimitsu and Edros, he would get a day off to recuperate.
After that, other high-ranking sentinels had the same appointments once a week. There was also another day for sentinels who were new or could not come weekly because they lived too far away.
What he needed to do was confirm that the amount of people he would see the following day was within his spiritual energy levels. He saw there were only six people scheduled for that day and confirmed that it was fine.
After that, he responded to his close friends and told them that yes, he could guide Edros and Akimitsu. That was what he did yesterday at the Guide Association.
He should talk with the Director to amp up the security so reporters could not barge in all the time...
Once Ellery responded to everyone and saw that all of his stabilizers were successfully shipped, he sighed in relief.
'Aster... Are you feeling alright?' He thought it was best to check in on Aster from time to time.
[I am okay. I feel a little bit better now. Are you okay?]
'I am glad you are feeling a bit better now. As for me, I think my social battery is catching up to me because I am exhausted. Or maybe it's just there is a lot on our shoulders.'
[Do you need me to take over for today? I don't mind doing that until you feel better.]
It was the first time Ellery had ever heard Aster offer to switch places.
To some people, Aster seemed like he lacked empathy, but that wasn't the case at all. He did feel empathy; he just didn't show it like other people did.
'Thank you, Aster. I will take you up on this offer. If you need anything, do not be afraid to call out to me. I will be here, listening to you.'
After that, the two switched places.
Aster opened his eyes and felt that he was fine. He texted Edros and Akimitsu that he, Aster, was fine and he was taking Ellery's place for a moment.
He then walked into his safe room and dimmed the lights.
