"If you don't mind, I'll go in first." Once Lucky had placed the duffel bag on one of the room's beds, Akaya said.
The room was clean, but it smelled like regular detergent and cheap air freshener. Still, it was better than nothing.
He responded with a nod as he took the duffel bag and pulled out a fresh set of clean clothing, which he handed to her before she went into the restroom.
He then lay on his back on the bed, his legs still on the floor.
"After all of this, you can't get in touch with me for follow-up?" Someone said something to him. He sat up immediately and glanced around, but no one was there.
He was confident of what he'd heard, and he knew it wasn't his imagination.
He then proceeded to the balcony's glass door, which also acted as a window. When he opened it, he was confronted with Bakunawa, the dragon.
"What the hell is going on?" Lucky wondered.
Bakunawa said, "Are you surprised to see me?"
