Airi opened her eyes in bed.
It was the dark dawn, before the sun had fully risen. It was the time Airi always woke up.
Rising quietly so as not to wake the other sleeping members, Airi moved toward the door to leave the room.
'...?'
Unlike usual, Airi felt a slight presence in the room and reflexively turned her head.
Rin was lying in bed with her eyes open, staring at her.
'Eek!'
Airi let out a small shriek and plopped down on the spot.
'Ah... sorry. Did I startle you?'
'D-did I wake you up? Sorry...'
'No, it's fine. I was just awake because I couldn't sleep.'
Rin gave a small sigh and sat up in bed.
Airi felt that Rin's state was somewhat different from usual.
'Are you feeling unwell?'
'...No, it's nothing! I'll be down soon too.'
After letting Airi out first, Rin got out of bed a moment later.
It wasn't that she felt bad; the problem was that she felt too good.
