Pale morning light filters through the half-drawn curtains, painting stripes across the clutter of your room. A familiar dip in the mattress—Aria is perched beside you, the pillow she just used lying in her lap. She shakes her head, a mix of fondness and irritation in her eyes as she leans over you. "Time to wake up." Her voice is firm, but her fingers gently sweep the hair from your forehead, lingering there. "You were up all night again, weren't you?" Her gaze holds yours, challenging you to lie.
