When the morning came, light rain was still pouring from the sky. The sound of its steady drumming against the roofs and windows constructed a beautiful serenade. The serenity brought by the rain blanketed the mansion in comforting silence.

Shouko lightly shook her head, her cheeks and nose inadvertently grazing a soft fabric layering a sturdy chest. Her lashes fluttered as she tried to lure herself from the dreamland. The corners of her lips lifted up as she was met with a familiar sight.

Shouko raised up her hand from his chest. The tips of her fingers grazed over the upper part of his lips. She stifled a laugh at how ticklish it felt whenever his breath fell on her skin.
