  &quot;I am very exhausted right now. I only think I slept for a few hours,&quot; Lyka complained after she repaired my unkempt hair.
  What she said made me giggle. She appears to be sleep deprived and worried. Her lips are also dry, and she has dark circles beneath her eyes.
  She leaned in close to me and inhaled deeply. Her head rested on my shoulder. I took her hand in mine and carefully patted it. I also sung a lullaby to her so that she might at least unwind.
  &quot;Professor Enriquez&quot;s project is so nerve-wracking and difficult! I assumed it would be easy, so I did not do it right away, but as I was completing it, I realized that I still needed to investigate and form a hypothesis about it!&quot; she remarked firmly. She even pouted as she said it.
  She sounded as if she was cursing the poor Professor with her tone.
  &quot;What assignment?&quot; I inquired, my brow furro

  I took a step forward while glancing up at the big structure in front of me. The new hires are staring at me. Probably due to the fact that I am dressed in my school uniform.
  I just realized I was still dressed in my uniform and had forgotten to change before coming here. When I realized I should have changed my clothing first, I almost got myself together, but I was already in a taxi when I recognized it. I am unable to stop it right now.
  I should not have told the driver to go back to the University simply so I could change. That would be a complete waste of money.
  Tsk, I have the appearance of a lost college student. There are as many skyscrapers here as there are in New York City.
  This is a business complex, and it is a business complex.
  Almost every major corporation has a presence here. It appeared as if they were rising the structure over the heights of the surrounding

  When I could not find my pillow, which I used to hug while sleeping, my brow furrowed. I cannot sleep without hugging a pillow, so I always sleep with one next to me.
  When I finally got my favorite pillow, I smiled. I cuddled with it as I brought it closer to my body. I cannot seem to get a whiff of it. When I realized the smell was not what I remembered it being, my brow furrowed. Nonetheless, I think I prefer the fragrance of it today. I grinned as I hugged the cushion and closed my eyes.
  This feels so good. I feel like I have lost my tiredness over the past few weeks. 
  For the first time, after my birthday party, I finally slept soundly as well. In the past few days since my surprise engagement party and Alessandre&quot;s, I cannot really sleep well. 
  The pained expression of Cassie as she looked at us and the grim emotionless face of Alessandre as he stared back at his supp
