As consciousness returned, the events of the previous day flooded back, and a soft smile curved my lips.

Lira was still nestled beside me, her breathing steady and rhythmic. Her presence was a comforting weight against my side, and I couldn't help but marvel at how strongly I connected with her… even if we have a lot of differences.
After all, we both lived in different worlds. One was in reality and one in the virtual one.
Rustle, rustle.
I carefully disentangled myself from the covers and slipped out of bed, mindful not to disturb Lira's peaceful slumber.
Step, step, step.
