Esme goes to the 9th floor with Troy. After stepping into his room, she asks, "Did you rent the room, either?"

"No. I bought it."

"It must have cost you lots of money."

"Not much. Don't you also live here?"

"But we rented it…"

Troy frowns and sighs, "You must have suffered a lot with your mom."

"Not really, but my mom has suffered a lot. She works hard to make me live a happy life like my classmates."

"Do you know William?"

"Of course."

"Doesn't he help you and your mom?"

"He has helped us. He's nice to me, but my mom doesn't like him…"

Esme starts to get sleepy, and Troy tucks her in and pats her back gently.

"You're like my dad…"

He's dumbfounded and asks, "Why?"

"Because my dad used to tuck me in like this in my dreams…"

Troy's heart tightens again.
