The afternoon sunlight gently spilled into the room on the second floor.
The greenery on the desk reflected a transparent light, while the paintings on the wall appeared bright and clear.
Most of them were watercolor landscapes, including the lake surrounded by red maples.
As expected, at this time, Hanamaru Hanabi was still sleeping.
Her fair feet peeked out from the end of the bed, exposed in the beam of light from the window.
She hugged the quilt tightly, her hair slightly disheveled, yet her cute face remained a subtle soft pink.
Uesugi Sakura walked over and poked her face.
"Mmm—" the girl let out a soft whimper.
He poked her again.
Hanamaru Hanabi turned in bed, whispering dreamily: "Yuuki-chan... don't tease me, Hanabi still wants to... still wants to sleep a little longer..."
Seeing her like this, Uesugi Sakura couldn't help but smile.
Although he still couldn't bring her back, at least he could see her lazy sleeping face once again from this close.
