「January 11th.」
「Early morning.」
Dawn had just broken. A faint light struggled to tear through the heavy curtain of the winter night, painting a thin layer of pale gray across the window lattice.
Li Wen's eyes opened right on time.
The first semester of his senior year was officially over. Today was the first day of winter break.
He didn't use the break as an excuse to be lazy. As always, he rose before his alarm clock, as if a biological clock, accurate down to the second, was etched into his very being.
He started with his usual morning stretch. His joints let out a soft CRACKLE, shaking off the sluggishness of sleep.
Then, his consciousness sank into his sea of awareness, skillfully calling forth the familiar virtual panel.
