Anee-san, are you awake?
A low voice calls out from behind the sliding door. It's Yuma Sakaki—Mio's caretaker and guard. As usual, he's been waiting faithfully at his post since early morning.
The morning sun streaming in from beyond the Japanese-style room is blinding. Sensing Mio's presence—or lack thereof, as she lies motionless with only one arm sticking out of the futon onto the tatami—Yuma lets out a small sigh.
...She's definitely back asleep.
