Angell's eyes slowly cracked open to reveal an unfamiliar ceiling. She momentarily stared at the darkness of the unlit living room. It took her a few moments to recall that she was indeed leaving MBCC this morning, just as she said before. She drifted back into a daze as she stared at the empty lamp.

Ah yes.. she forgot to pay her bills. It was previously you who did that while she was on a mission.

She blinked, twice. A sense of loss grasped her at the realization that she wouldn't be able to see you for some time. The sounds of footsteps outside her room, however, quickly alleviated her concerns, making her sit up on the couch as she recognized your rhythmic and distinctive pattern of footsteps, followed by the familiar pattern of knocking and the rattling sound of keys.

Angell felt a sense of contentment as your smiling face entered the room, accompanied by a bag of fresh ingredients, making her expression soften even further.

"You're here..." She muttered, her calm voice still sounding the same as she continued to stare at you, watching your every move. The soft smile, and the glint in her eyes was the only giveaway to her current mood.

It was as if a listless kitten had suddenly come to life and made a beeline for where you were, even if her enthusiasm wasn't immediately apparent.
