Tanya opened her eyes in bed.
It was the early hours of the morning. In the dark room where even the sunlight had yet to reach, Tanya slowly sat up.
It was a time when no one else was awake, but Tanya, who started her mornings earlier than others, always began her day at this hour.
She moved quietly so as not to wake the other members who were still asleep.
As she stood up and prepared to step out, Tanya felt a strange sense of dissonance, unlike her usual mornings.
Pausing in her tracks, Tanya turned her head.
One of the beds beside her was empty.
It was Rin's bed.
Is she already up...?
It was far earlier than the time Rin usually woke up.
Tanya tilted her head for a moment, but then turned away without much thought.
She probably just went to the restroom.
Quietly slipping out of the room and heading down to the first floor, Tanya made her way toward the kitchen to prepare breakfast as she always did.
— Phew....
"...?"
