Morning. Mono opens his eyes groggily on the living room sofa. His body feels stiff, likely from sleeping on the couch.
Mono sits up and blinks slowly, tucking his messy hair behind his ear. On the table sits a mug of half-finished herbal tea and a book.
His eyes narrow slightly.
...Crazy. Why did I sleep here instead of in my bed?
Mono tries to search his memory. He needs to know what happened last night.
Mono lazily lies back down. He curls up and pulls the blanket over himself.
Mono blankly sips the remaining tea in the mug. Yuck. It's cold and tastes terrible.
Mono just spaces out. Staring into nothing...
Since Monday morning, Mono has been lounging around on the sofa.
Blink looks at Mono as if he's absurd.
Wow. Hey, what are you doing? Slacking off on a sacred Monday morning.
Mono glances at Blink, then turns his gaze back to the book he was reading.
I'm not slacking. I'm resting.
Blink snorts.
It's the same thing, fuck. If you're resting, you're slacking.
Despite saying that, he follows Mono's lead and sprawls out on the opposite sofa.
Ha... This is such a pain. I might as well just rest too.
