Return to Haven [3]

I opened the familiar door. 

A room I had spent the better part of the year appeared before my eyes as I closed my eyes and caught a whiff of the scent that lingered in the air. 

"Hm?" 

 I frowned slightly. 

The smell felt a little off. 

'....I guess the maids came early knowing that I'd be back today.' 

Thump! 

I dropped my luggage to the side and headed for the bed. It had been a while since I had been here, and while everything felt familiar, it also felt slightly unfamiliar. 

'It's been a year since I've been in this world...'

It was a lot of time, and things had changed quite a bit. 

...Unlike before, it no longer felt as though the entire world was against me. I could finally feel relaxed in this room. 

"Huam." 

Massaging my face, I unconsciously let out a yawn. 

'I guess I'm tired.'
