Kana sat on the edge of her bed, tapping her fingers anxiously against her knee. The silence in the resort room felt heavier than usual, as though the night itself was holding its breath.
An hour had passed since Emma arranged for a guard to watch over her corridor, but even with that reassurance, sleep refused to come.
Every creak in the walls, every distant footstep in the hallway made her tense. Her body was exhausted, yet her thoughts spun endlessly.
With a soft sigh, Kana decided she wasn't going to get any rest tonight.
Instead, she reached for the small writing set provided by the resort and pulled a sheet of pale parchment onto the table.
If she couldn't sleep, she might as well write to Lysera and Irielle.
She hesitated for a moment, quill hovering above the page, before she began writing.
Her letter carried a casual tone, describing the luxurious resort, the food, and how beautiful the scenery was.
