Bitterness

The morning light filtered through the curtains, painting the hospital room in warm, golden hues. Outside, the sky was a clear, brilliant blue, with birds singing cheerfully in the distance. The gentle rustling of leaves in the soft breeze created a serene symphony that usually would have been a comfort to anyone waking up to such a beautiful day.

But not to Ren.

Despite the idyllic morning, Ren's soul was anything but cheerful. The reason for his discontent mood was currently perched on the table, basking in the sunlight like a contented cat.

Ren, too, wanted to laze around.

Maybe I should add a pool in my new home. A big swing in the garden doesn't sound bad either. Perfect for taking a nap...

Before his thoughts could wander too far, he was dragged back to reality by the childish voice he was all too familiar with.
