Sachiko woke up late in the morning, the sunlight gently filtering through the curtains of the bedroom. She could feel Ryo's presence beside her, his breathing deep and steady as he slept. Not wanting to disturb him, she carefully slipped out of bed, her movements quiet and deliberate.

The events of the previous night were still fresh in her mind, but she pushed them aside, reminding herself that she needed to adapt to this new life if she was going to survive.
