I was still deeply asleep when Aika's voice suddenly echoed in my mind:
'Punk?'~~
I groaned and rolled over in my sleeping bag. But then her voice came again.
'How long do you plan to sleep for?'~~
I mumbled some nonsense but didn't give a definite response. Surprisingly, she let me be this time and didn't bother me anymore.
A few minutes... or hours, I wasn't sure... passed, and then my eyes finally fluttered open.
I slowly, groggily sat upright. My long hair was a tangled mess and looked completely dull. Even my eyes had dark circles under them, as if I had not slept in days.
'Why do I always feel like this after using Chrysalis on another person?' I thought, rubbing my temples as if that would ease the slight headache I was feeling. Then I rubbed my face for a moment before smoothing out my hair and tying it back.
At that moment, I heard Aika's teasing voice beside me, "You look like shit."
