At the moment I realized the dog bowlâor rather, my bowlâfilled with food was placed on the floor by Ethan, I felt a wave of bewilderment.
Could this really be my âbreakfastâ? I glanced up at him, but he just stood there, waiting in silence as if expecting me to eat.
âMaster Ethan?â
âHurry up and eat. Thereâs plenty to do today.â
ââ¦â
â¦Maybe I should just comply for now.@@novelbin@@
Resisting further didnât seem like it would change anything, and I needed more information to understand why things had reached this point.
If I wanted to recover the lost year of my memory, cooperating with him might be the better option.
âAll right, Master Ethan. To be honest, I still donât fully understand why youâre requiring this of me, but if this is what you want, Iâll comply for now.â
ââ¦Saying things like you did when you first arrived, Lilith.â
ââ¦â
I half-listened to his words and prepared to begin eating when I realized something was missing.
ââ¦?â
It hit me only then that heâd set down the bowl without any utensils.
