Lumi awoke the next morning feeling unusually light. Her room was filled with the warm glow of early sunlight, and for the first time in a long while, she felt rested. Wrapped in her blankets, she allowed herself a few more minutes of peace, savoring the quiet after all the recent chaos. The mission to protect the Eye of Tempestus had drained her, both physically and mentally, but last night with Cyana had left her feeling unexpectedly grounded.
"It's too peaceful," Lumi thought, staring at the ceiling. "Something's bound to go wrong soon."
Just as that thought crossed her mind, a soft knock on the door broke the silence.
"Lumi? You up?" June's voice came from the other side, as chipper as always.
Lumi groaned softly, already missing the tranquility. She rolled out of bed, still tangled in her blankets, and shuffled to the door. "Yeah, yeah, I'm up," she mumbled, cracking the door open.
