When I opened my eyes, it was Thursday.
The next day, of course.
For a while now, I hadn't really needed my alarm to wake up. My body just did it on its own.
Not always of course, because… Nah. Laziness doesn't vanish overnight.
But it had happened enough times to make me suspicious that I was finally becoming a responsible person.
"Whew."
I let out a long sigh before dragging myself out of bed.
My feet carried me to the bathroom like they'd been trained for years to do so, and after the usual washing up, I slipped into my uniform and left the dorm.
The moment I stepped outside, the world was already alive.
Students were scattered around the courtyard, adjusting their uniforms, laughing with their friends, exchanging things, and just… existing.
It was still early morning, but the atmosphere was bright. Lively. Warm.
And that's when it hit me.
I was truly lonely. No friends. No one I could really talk to.
At least, not anyone I'd consider a "good" person to talk to.
