*Knock* *Knock*

Nao: “…Huh?”

I look at the clock, I notice that it’s 7:30 PM. Not an awful time to wake up. I hope this is worth it.

I look at Alyson’s cute sleeping face.

Nao: “I’m glad you still have that same look while sleeping.”

I kiss her cheek before getting out of bed and opening the door. At the doorway is Mat who tries to say something before seeing Alyson’s sleeping figure.

Mat: “Bro, did you-”

Nao: “No.”

Not yet.

Nao: “What’s up?”

Mat: “I wanted to tell Alyson that Victor is back with the info we need. I was going to tell you afterward but since you’re both here…”

Nao: “Okay, I’ll tell her. Is…Tallow still insisting on being the only one going with Victor?”

Mat: “Yep, it’s times like this where I feel the most useless.”

Nao: “I’m…sorry. I wish I had more artifacts for you.”

Mat: “It’s fine, I’ll just continue spreading the message online. It’s all me and Velo can do after all.”

Before I could say anymore Mat closed the door.

*Sigh*

I look back at Alyson’s sleeping figure
