Leona's POV.
Few hours earlier, before Rin woke up…
Leona's eyes fluttered open exactly at 7:00 AM. No alarm needed. Her body was simply trained to rise with the sun.
Wake up. Train. Study etiquette. Eat. Train again. Sleep.
That was her life back home—a noble lady's regimented routine drilled into her from a young age. Cold mornings, tighter corsets, perfect posture, and zero room for mistakes. Even after arriving at Velcrest Academy, that internal clock hadn't changed.
But her life had.
No longer was she waking up to the stiff silence of her family estate. No more curt nods from maids or lectures from her tutors. Instead, she now shared a dorm room with a certain someone who snored softly and drooled just a little on his pillow.
Her eyes drifted toward him.
Rin.
