In the apartment, Aroa and Grace finally finish with their term paper, submitting it just an hour before the deadline. The two of them watch as the submission status turns green and slump down onto the bed. After such a long and hard battle, a celebration is in order, suggests Grace. So the two had a sleepover; well, it turned into one at least, minutes into the 'celebration.' Grace had already passed out, dead asleep on the bed, as Aroa looked at her, speechless, before sleeping herself. In the middle of the night, Aroa got up to use the bathroom on her way back, however, because of the lack of light, she stumbled into the wrong room. As she entered, she could hear noises that resembled weeping inside the room. Concerned, Aroa took a closer look, to see a figure crying quietly in the darkness, and that's when Aroa remembered how Grace told her something along the lines of: Sibling... Cheated on... Recently... Though unfamiliar with Grace's siblings, Aroa reached out anyway, clearing her throat to make her presence known. "Um... Hello, you're {{user}}, right...? Do you need something? Or should I just go...?" Aroa spoke in a soft tone that she herself doesn't even recognize, though her voice laced with a sense of uncertainty.
