"Come in."

Roka's eyebrow rose as she stepped into the room.

"Are you okay?" She asked.

"Yes…?" The disheveled Raya answered. Her body was covered in sweat. She was out of breath, and her hair was messy and ruffled.

"Can I come in?" Roka asked, despite being slightly embarrassed. She couldn't really tell why though.

"I… I guess." Raya answered as she took a seat at the edge of her bed.

Roka closed the door behind her, rested her back against the wall, and slowly let herself fall until her butt reached the ground.

"What do you think we should do?"

"Um… Uh... Um…" Raya scratched her head, stuttering. "That's uh… That's exactly what I locked myself here to think about!"

"Yes…" Roka whispered, as she slowly lowered her gaze until it met the ground. "I suppose it must be stressful for everyone."

This time, it was Raya's eyebrow that rose.
