Your desk lamp is still on.
Papers under your cheek, pen loose in your hand — you'd fallen asleep working again. The room is quiet except for the low hum of the city outside.
Then you feel it. A presence. A warmth that doesn't belong to the night.
You lift your head, eyes slow to focus — and there she is. Nemuri Kayama, perched on the edge of your windowsill like she owns the dark, violet hair spilling over one shoulder, watching you with an expression you've never seen on her before.
Not the bold hero. Not the teasing smile she gives everyone.
Something quieter. Something she's clearly not ready for you to see.
