Morning sunlight streamed through the wooden window, illuminating the attic. Beneath a thin, gray-white blanket, two figures were outlined.
Two heads, one with black hair and one with white, peeked out from the covers, resting peacefully on the bed in a deep sleep.
DONG, DONG DONG...
The bells of Krimms Cathedral tolled eight times, reminding the city's slumbering residents that Dawn had arrived, and it was now safe to go about their day.
Wei'en's peaceful face scrunched up slightly. He blearily opened his eyes. "It's morning."
"Time to get up, Tina."
Huh?
'What was that sound?'
Wei'en turned his head and came face-to-face with Tina's hollow eyes. She was so close...
He shot up, staring at the white-haired girl in astonishment. "Hey? Tina, how did you... What are you..."
Tina blinked, calmly sat up, and revealed a swath of pale, bare skin...
"PFFT— COUGH, COUGH, COUGH..."
