Chapter 46: Morning Routines and Essential Preparations

Sakura woke up to the first light of dawn filtering through the curtains. She stretched languidly, a content smile playing on her lips. Slipping out of bed quietly so as not to wake Ryo, she made her way to the bathroom for her morning shower. The warm water was a soothing balm, washing away the remnants of sleep and leaving her feeling refreshed and ready for the day ahead.

After her shower, Sakura wrapped herself in a soft towel and headed to the kitchen. She enjoyed these quiet moments in the early morning, finding solace in the simple act of preparing breakfast. She brewed a pot of coffee, the rich aroma filling the small apartment. As the coffee dripped, she whisked eggs and set bacon sizzling in a pan, the familiar sounds and smells bringing a sense of normalcy to their otherwise chaotic world.
