In the late afternoon, warm sunlight streamed through the apartment window, gently enveloping the living room.

Lying sprawled out on the floor in the house where Yerin had left, I basked in the warmth.

Perhaps because I was lying motionless with my eyes closed, the Mini Grim Reapers, who had been cautiously watching, began to approach one by one.

Quietly, they snuck up, making sure to make no sound.

Finally, when they reached my side, they attached themselves to me with happy expressions.

Worried I might wake up, they slowly and carefully crawled over me, settling down comfortably.

'So soft.'
