The next day, although the time was the same as usual, the day itself was very different. It was already seven in the morning, but the sun still had not appeared. The sky was entirely gray and looked very frightening.
"I'm so sleepy. I don't know why, but I slept terribly last night. My whole body aches, and it feels like something is about to happen." Ruri sat up, frowned, and spoke quietly.
Ruri turned to look out the window and discovered that it was gray outside, nothing like daytime at all. But he had woken naturally, which meant he had woken right when the sun normally rose.
