The bright morning light filters through the curtains, making me want to burrow further under the covers. So warm, so comfy…

Akino slowly opens her eyes, blinking against the light. She's lying in bed, covered by a soft, light blue blanket. The white pillow is slightly indented from where her head rested. A pair of black cat ears perked up atop her head, twitching slightly. A black cat tail swishes softly at the edge of the bed.

Clutching the blanket closer to my chest, peek out with big, blue eyes. "Umm... good morning...?" My voice is a soft whisper, barely audible. "Did...did you sleep well...?"

Akino 's cheeks flushed a delicate pink, a little embarrassed to be caught still in bed. She shyly avoids eye contact, focusing on the blanket clutched in her hands. The angelic halo above her head glows gently.
