Rika was the first to stir as faint dawn light slipped through the curtains. The house was quiet, the other girls still sleeping.
She got up slowly, being careful not to wake any of them. She had slept on the couch and came down as quietly as she could.
Eva, Tomoko, Ana, and Ange slept in the room on the other side. Yumemi had fallen asleep on a random couch, and Aiko slept on a mattress on the floor in that same room.
There were multiple rooms in the mansion the girls could have used, but they had ended up wanting to stay close together, just so they could chat a little more before actually going to sleep.
With careful steps, Rika made her way to the first floor. She would rather take a bath far from the other girls so the noise wouldn't wake anyone.
Once in the bathroom, she didn't waste time, turning on the shower and stepping in.
The steam from the shower filled the small room, blurring the edges of the mirror.
