Evenings at Professor Kazumi's mansion were always so quiet and peaceful, and who better to enjoy that moment, then Albert, who had taken advantage of the night, by enjoying reading one of his favorite novels, as he was seated in a sofa of the house's living room.

"I can't think of the last time I was able to relax, and enjoy a good book. I should do this more often."

"Al... Albert?"

The German picked his head up when he heard his name and looked over towards the entrance of the room, noticing his wife, Kayla standing there, with a bit of a troubled expression on her face.

"Kayla, what's wrong?"

"I... I dreamt about my father again."

The arsenal cyborg frowned as he got up from his seat, and walked over towards the fox cyborg, as he lead her back to the sofa he was seated at, helping her take a seat and started to walk around it. He should have known that these sort of nights always bothered the Irish girl, for it was a night like this that her father had been killed by Black Ghost, and used his scientific experiments on her cyborg design.

As he reached the back of the sofa, he grabbed a blanket he had found behind it, and placed it over Kayla's shoulders, as he then began to slightly rub them, to help try and make her feel more calm from her troubled nightmare.

"Want me to ask Chang to make you something to drink?" Albert asked as he continued to rub the fox cyborg's shoulders. "It'll help you feel more relaxed."

Kayla shook her head as she looked over towards her husband. "Can... Can I just stay here with you? I'll feel more relaxed that way."

Nodding, the German walked back towards the front of the sofa and took a seat, as he allowed the Irish cyborg to rest herself along his chest, and then placed his arms around her waist while resting his chin on top of her head, as he then began to hum a soft tune.

The fox cyborg was a bit surprised by this as she looked up towards her husband. "Albert... Are you humming?"

"Yeah." he replied as he looked down at his wife. "Why? It's not bothering you is it?"

"No, not at all. It's just that... It sounds really nice."

Albert smiled as he noticed Kayla getting more comfortable along his chest and closed her eyes, as he then began to hum the tune once more, now knowing that his love's nightmares could be taken care of, one night at a time, with just the simple sound of his soft humming.
