Karina climbed down from her bed the next morning, then frowned when she saw Nori's and Chloe's beds empty. She darted her eyes around the room but saw no one.
That was strange. Usually, she wakes up before the two of them. So what happened today? Did she wake up late? That thought prompted her to check the small clock placed on the drawer, only to realize she even woke up a few minutes earlier than usual.
The sound of water suddenly gushing out of the tap pulled her attention toward the bathroom. Moving her feet, she sauntered into the bathroom.
Her eyes caught sight of Nori, who was leaning over the sink, brushing her teeth. She moved her eyes around the bathroom, but there was only Nori there.
"Morning, Rina." Nori's words came out unclear as she was still engaged in brushing her teeth. However, it was clear enough for Karina to understand what she said.
