"Here are the papers," Claire announced in a formal tone as she passed me a stack of documents roughly the side of my old type of personal computer. 

"You can read through all of it if you want, but all the important bits are on the first seven pages. The rest is just the codification of the business relationship between my father's estate and our company designed to match the laws of both material and spiritual worlds."

There were quite a few points drawing my attention in what Claire said so far… but one thing stuck out more than all the others. 

Contrary to what one would expect from this scene, it wasn't anything law, contract, or business-related. Instead…

'Our company?' I thought, only for a small smile to appear on my lips as I looked up and locked stares with the girl. 

"What?" Claire asked, squinting her eyes when she noticed my stare.
