Vol. 3 - Chapter 3

Ash

Upon waking up, the first thing Ash noticed was that the bed she'd gone to sleep in was empty. She yawned, stretching and shielding her eyes from the sun coming in from her left.  Everyone's up already?  She wondered. Fuck, what time is it? 

The half-demon walked out and heard Kaori, Keiko, Satsuhiro, and the others talking in the living room. She walked to it, groggy and still a little sleepy. 

"Rise and shine," Metsumi said. Everyone was having breakfast at the kitchen table. Ash saw Keiko and Kaori sitting next to each other on the right, Opah, Satsuhiro, and Metsumi all on the left. Ash sat between them all, at the center. "Want coffee?" 

"Sure," Ash replied. The Iron Stomach trait only prevented negative effects from eating, so she was still going to feel the buzz from the coffee. She figured she could use it. 

Satsuhiro passed her a sheet of paper.
