“Komoe? I’m entering.”
After being welcomed in by their mother, she didn’t stop me from going upstairs to get Komoe. In fact, she even urged me to do so. She also told me that her door was unlocked. I could come inside her room to wake her up.
And now, like an actor in a stage play, that’s exactly how it played out. Even after knocking thrice and not hearing a response, I was left with no choice but to put my hand on the knob and push the door open.
Like the previous times, the same scenery lay before my eyes. A room shrouded in darkness with only a small lamp being the light source. I had to narrow my eyes a bit to see the figure of the girl still lying on her bed.
After carefully closing the door behind me and walking over to the side of Komoe’s bed.
At this distance, I could finally see her clearly. Still in her yellow pajamas, she’s curled up and partly wrapped with her blanket.
