With the disagreement, it was only natural that Frost and Flower and Chihiro didn't renew the barrier strengthening that they usually did monthly.
As a result, the simulation blared with its noisy alarm that echoed throughout their house. Frost Flower and Chihiro had slept the night in different bedrooms because they couldn't stand lying next to each other while their brains concocted all the wrong reasons to start ditching the other. Therefore, when the morning hadn't yet broken but the obnoxiously loud shriek woke both men up, one assumed the other would rise and take care of it.
Until around half a minute of the disturbance.
Frost Flower groaned and wiped his palms on his face, kicking the residual sleepiness to the curb. He didn't have enough resting time because of his coordination with Reynaldo.
