Sunlight crept through the dorm window, pulling Melisa from sleep. As per usual when Melisa woke up on her own, the room felt oddly quiet without Raven's steady breathing from the other bed.
[Right, morning jog. My girlfriend's such a tryhard-that still feels kinda weird to say, huh. My girlfriend... Well, weird in a good way~]
"Ahhh," she yawned and stretched, her nightshirt riding up to expose purple skin to the cool morning air. Something crinkled beneath her - today's paper, neatly folded on her pillow.
[Raven's getting predictable,] she thought with a fond smile.
Ever since these attacks started, her girlfriend (still weird) had made sure Melisa saw each report first thing.
The smile died as she read the headline:
"FOURTH NOBLE FAMILY TARGETED - NIM CRIMINALS SUSPECTED"
[Fuck. Not again.]
