Chapter 142: Silent Observations

Sachiko woke up early in the morning, sunlight streaming through the window, casting a soft glow across the room. She turned her head and saw Ryo sleeping peacefully beside her, his breathing steady. Just beyond him, standing silently in her usual place, was Sayako, the female zombie, still as a statue, her eyes closed in a kind of sleep.

Ryo looked undisturbed, his body relaxed, but Sachiko's gaze lingered on Sayako. There was something about the zombie's presence that always fascinated her. She stretched and quietly slipped out of bed, careful not to wake Ryo, before walking over to the chair where her towel was draped.

Before heading to the shower, Sachiko paused, glancing back at Sayako. Her curiosity piqued once again. She had been meaning to study Sayako further, and now, with a moment of peace, it seemed like the perfect opportunity. Sachiko grabbed her smartphone from the bedside table, quickly unlocking it, and began recording Sayako.
