Chapter 70 - Misplaced Priorities

---

Waiting.

A few minutes passed.

The clock read 07:02.

Yuna stirred weakly.

Her eyes fluttered open.

Clearer than before.

She stared at the ceiling.

For a few seconds.

Then shifted her gaze to the side.

Toward the clock on the wall.

It took time to focus.

But eventually, it settled there.

07:02.

Her eyes widened slightly.

Her brows twitched.

Her body tried to sit up.

Slowly.

Her hands pressed against the futon.

Unsteady.

I watched her.

Didn't move right away.

She forced herself.

Half-sitting.

Her body swayed.

"…Yuna."

She stopped.

Didn't look at me.

Still staring at the clock.

"…I'm… late…"

Her voice was hoarse.

Broken.

I stood up and moved a little closer.

"What are you doing."

She tried to straighten her back.

Failed.

Her body slumped forward.

"…I have to go to… school…"

I looked at her for a few seconds.

No change in my expression.

"Don't be stupid."

I held her shoulder.

Pushed her back down onto the futon.

"Sleep."
