Lifeless Puppets
Yinuo was lying on the bed, closing her eyes as she tried to fall asleep. However, she was too excited to be visited by sleepiness. Just as she was about to drink warm milk to try and induce sleepiness, she picked up a faint odor.
"Ugh... What's that smell?" She groaned, pinching her nose.

She tried looking around, looking for the source of the smell, but just as she reached the door, a short beep echoed.
"A message?" Yinuo groaned as she checked her smartwatch.
