The Most Profitable Commodity

Morning.

The rays of sunlight passed through the window and fell on the bed. Ruby, still in sleep, put a hand over her eyes to stop the glaring sunlight.

After minutes of conflict, she opened her eyes and woke up. She left the bed and took the glasses from the table.

She stretched out for a minute or so but then suddenly her body turned stiff as she felt eyes on her. Startled, she turned around and noticed Kiba standing near the door.

"Good morning," Kiba said with a smile.

"G-good morning," Ruby repeated the greetings.

For a second, she had forgotten the events which led her to this room and the tensed moments before she fell asleep. She now recalled the details and knew this was not a nightmare.

"You should fresh up," Kiba opened the door, "I will prepare the breakfast."

"Ok," Ruby nodded.

She initially wanted to volunteer for breakfast but after hearing his words, she decided to follow his orders.

...

After twenty minutes.

The Bathroom.
