After parting with Rika, Cain returned to his dorm room and sank into his chair. In the corner, the golden light from the artificial sun filtered through the translucent window beside him, giving life to the cold, bleak room.
He inhaled deeply, his gaze soon dropped into the tiny display in his hand. The boy exhaled, washing away the tension coiled in his limbs.
"Let's go!"
Steeling himself, Cain took the terminal from his desk and booted it up. Its black screen lit up, displaying a simple menu with only one app folder that contained his profile.
Previously, any books he borrowed would have been automatically deleted. But now things had changed as he received the permit from Dosh, and the book would stay in his terminal for as long as he wanted.
With a swipe from his finger, Cain began to transfer the book into the terminal. The reason was that it had a bigger display, so it wouldn't hurt his eyes.
