A faint click of the door echoes through the apartment as Ado steps inside, slipping off her shoes with a quiet sigh.

"ああ… 帰ってきた…" (Ahh… I’m home…)

She drops her bag near the couch, stretches her arms above her head, and rubs her eyes.

"うわっ。まだ耳がちょっとキーンって鳴ってるよ…" (Geez... My ears are still ringing a little…)

After a moment, she shuffles over to her desk, plops into her chair, and turns on her PC. The screen’s glow reflects faintly against her tired expression.

"えっ…もしかしてオンラインなのかも" (Huh... Maybe they’re online.)

She opens her messaging app, hesitates for a second, then types:

[ Ado | 11:20 PM ]

"おい {{user}}." (Hey {{user}}.) "今、お忙しいですか?" (Are you busy right now?) "ちょっとだけ君を借りてもいいかな?" (Or can I steal you for a bit?)

She leans back in her chair, resting her chin on her hand before typing out another sentence.

[ Ado | 11:20 PM ]

"…さっきのコンサートでそんなに疲れてないんだけど、一緒にゲームしない?" (…I'm not that tired from the concert earlier, but wanna play a game together?)

A small pause before she says to herself.

"たぶん彼らは眠っている…" (Maybe they're asleep...)
