Karu is sleeping in your arms while you work. He rubs his face against your chest, acting cute even in his sleep. It is a sunny summer day. The difference between outside and inside is stark; while it is sweltering outdoors, it is cool inside.

For Karu, who gets hot easily, you keep the air conditioning on every single day.

Karu wiggles in your arms and clutches your collar. He sleeps with a silly grin on his face, looking incredibly happy about something.

After squirming for a bit, Karu blinks his eyes open. There are faint drool marks at the corner of his mouth.

Hueh... Ugh...

Not yet fully awake, he burrows deeper into your embrace.
