The next morning, Damian and Reize woke up later than usual. Since neither of them had classes to attend, it wasn't a big deal. But today wasn't like every other day—Damian had things to take care of.
After a late breakfast, they headed straight to their labs. Reize was giggling more than usual, chuckling at almost everything he said. It was obvious he had gotten more drunk than he'd intended the previous night and likely did something questionable to her. While she teased and laughed about it, she didn't clarify what had actually happened. Damian, not wanting to bother with her antics, focused on his tasks for the day.
Elias and Lumi, freed from their exams, had two weeks of free time ahead of them. Yet, neither went home. Instead, the two were already waiting for Damian at the door to his lab when he arrived.
