Arriving home, Sunimi heard noises of laughter in her sister's room, her mother was smoking in the living room.

"Visitors?" I ask how to greet, her parent looked at her with a tired smile before nodding.

"Midory's sister came to visit him, they've been like this since 4 o'clock" the woman commented casually turning her attention to the papers on the table.

The feeling of almost dying, the memories of the event and her trembling body did not let the girl think that she had fallen prey to her instincts.

People after a few seconds had stopped paying attention to what happened, Midory gradually regained consciousness and the man dismissed a group that chatted with him for a moment.

A chill, followed by a stomach ache made Midory cringe in place of her, it was a bad feeling, but this one was even worse than before, her eyes looked around her with pupils dilated.
