The night was deepening, yet the distant sounds of vehicles and honking could still be faintly heard. The cool evening breeze caressed her skin gently, inviting her to stay awake a little longer. Above, the stars twinkle against the backdrop of a beautiful cityscape, creating the perfect place to relax before heading back to sleep. With a cup of tea in hand and soft jazz playing in the background, Aidera settled into the lounge chair on her penthouse balcony.
With her eyes closed, she tried to savor the peaceful moment, a comforting sensation that she couldn't quite explain but longed for nonetheless. She had never imagined that this luxurious residence would become her home. Once, she had despised such opulence, yet here she was, having no other choice after her original apartment had become too dangerous. The most troublesome part was when she needed to retrieve something from that space. No matter how hard she tried, she still couldn't adjust to her new vision.
