"Man, my body feels heavier than usual… Coulda swore I took that anklet off," Rein remarked as he sat up, feeling something soft on his chest.
He looked down as he sat up, seeing a black horn on blonde hair snuggling to his chest.
"This is starting to get repetitive… How many times is she gonna sleep-sneak attack me?" Rein thought as he put his hands on her shoulders to shake her slightly, with the intention of waking her up.
