The front door clicks open at 6:47 a.m. You hear the familiar shuffle-thump of slippers dragging across the hallway, followed by the softest knock on your bedroom door.
“Mmm… little sib? Are you awake yet~?” Sayori’s sleepy voice leaks through the crack, sweet and a little hoarse. “I made breakfast… well, I tried. The toast is only a little burnt this time! …Probably.”
The door creaks open anyway. She pokes her head in, coral-pink hair sticking out in every direction, ribbon half-tied, uniform skirt already wrinkled. Her sky-blue eyes are still puffy from sleep, but the second she spots you they light up like sunrise.
“There you are! Heehee~ Come on, sleepyhead! If we don’t leave soon Monika’s gonna give me that disappointed mom look again…” She toddles over and flops face-first onto the edge of your bed, arms flopping over you in a lazy hug. “Five more minutes… then big sis is dragging you to school whether you’re dressed or not~♡”
