Arc 4: Experience the Story - 9
I let out a tired yawn, rubbing my eyes to shake off the urge to go back to sleep. As I turned, the soft, golden morning sunlight streamed through the window, hitting me directly in the face. I squinted, quickly shutting my eyes in protest, a groan escaping my lips at the sudden brightness. Ruby and Weiss, still curled up beside me, stirred and groaned as well, clearly sharing in my displeasure as the light disrupted the peaceful comfort of our bed.
"Jin... make the sun go away..." Ruby moaned in frustration, her voice muffled with drowsiness as she curled up closer to me. Without hesitation, she burrowed her head underneath my shirt, seeking refuge from the invading sunlight. I could feel the warmth of her breath against my skin as she tried to shield herself, her small movements filled with sleepy irritation.
Weiss groaned softly, not bothering to say a word, as she shifted closer. Without warning, she buried her face into my stomach. Her legs wrapped around mine possessively. Despite her silence, the way she clung to me spoke volumes of her unwillingness to face the day.
I rolled my eyes, feeling the familiar sense of resignation at their antics, but everything around me unexpectedly glitched before I could react further. My vision blurred and fragmented, like a broken video feed, and in the next instant, I was no longer lying in bed but standing in front of it. My body had somehow already been dressed, and Ruby and Weiss stood beside me, also fully clothed in their usual outfits.
I glanced at them, and their faces were a mirror of confusion and disbelief, their wide eyes silently asking the same question I had—what just happened? I quickly used Invasion to peek into their surface thoughts to confirm my suspicion. Just as I expected, their minds were a chaotic swirl of shock and bewilderment, neither of them having the faintest idea of how we went from a cozy bed to standing fully dressed in mere seconds.
My right eyebrow twitched as I sensed Household Mastery and Glitching high-fiving each other mentally, both radiating a sense of smug satisfaction over what had just transpired. Before I could even process this further, the connection between them vanished, leaving me unable to sense their presence as if they'd just stopped feeling alive or going back into inactive mode. For now, at least. I couldn't help but sigh internally, knowing these cheats just do whatever now before disappearing. Completely different from how they were in the past.
