In my daze, I seemed to have said something harsh.
"Wake up! Miluno, we've reached the moon!"
But then someone patted my cheek and called me to get up. Squinting groggily, I thought I saw Ceruno, but when I opened my eyes and came fully awake, it was Sun Ji.
With her hair tied up, she stood beside my hibernation pod with her arms folded. Because of her pose and my low angle of view, all I could see was the underside of her chest, not her face.
Turning around, I saw the pale lunar surface outside the window...
Looking closer, it was not a window at all. It was merely a long, narrow display showing footage from the spacecraft's external cameras.
Still, we really were on the lunar surface.
"Mm, we're here already?"
I had slept for ten hours. I had not even woken up during the landing?
"You really can sleep. Have you been too tired these past few days?"
Even when Sun Ji asked that, I did not know the reason myself.
I could only answer, "Maybe the low-gravity environment was more comfortable, so I slept too deeply."
It was not a very convincing explanation, but I could not think of any other.
Still, it felt like I had forgotten something...
But it was nothing. Wasn't that how dreams were?
If you did not record a dream immediately after waking, its contents would soon fade away completely, until you could not even recall them...
That was what a dream was.
Getting up, I found that I had some... bruises on my body for some reason?
They did not hurt much, but I could not remember where I had been injured.
After putting the Taibai combat suit back on, I followed Sun Ji to the spacecraft's landing module.
