Until the end, Kyoya didn't say anything nor Shouko pointed out his troubled mood. He just wished her to have a good nap before ending the call. Shouko assented with a hum thus the call was hung up.
She slept while placing the phone on the mattress, next to her pillow. Shouko didn't realize how her lips curled up softly as she got another good dream.
In her dream, Little Riceball deng deng deng was running toward her on his short feet and pounced on her. His bubbly expression incited laughter from her.
"Mommy, Little Riceball misses Mommy and Daddy."
"Mommy, be happy with Daddy."
"Mommy, Little Riceball loves Mommy and Daddy."
It was a little over eight o'clock when Shouko woke up from her long nap. Her brows relaxed as she smiled at the heartwarming dream.
