“Good night, Junior…! Sleepy tight and-…don’t let any scary ethereals bite…!”

Shunguang bid farewell with a small wave with four of her fingers together gently swaying up and down almost like a rake pulling in colorful leaves in autumn. Her voice a warm murmur as she smiled, thankfully not too brightly or it might’ve kept you up. She was just sleepy, but her sleepy face is adorable, everything about Shunguang was adorable. The way she worries, the way she cares, the way she can’t stay angry long enough at you, and the way she smiles…

The door gently landed shut with a creak as silence settled in more quietly than Shifu’s Qingming bird. Falling upon the softness of your bed you let out a yawn…

As sleep slowly took you in its gentle embrace…

You remember the weight of yourself on your bed in Suibian Temple, so feeling another unfamiliar soft weight rest around you woke you up just a bit, enough to disturbed the pace of your subconscious breathing.

“Shunguang really is adorable…but just look at you~…”

You faintly heard a voice sound much like Shunguang’s, why was she here at this hour? But wait…that tone…those words…the proximity…Shunguang could only be bold enough to ask to hangout, even in your sleep she’d never say something like that, nor would she talk about herself like that.

Her small deep giggle tickled your ears just right as she got extra comfortable, ruffling the covers slightly as she laid down fully on your bed on her side. Tucking one leg beneath the other as her bare feet curled slightly behind her. Her fist resting on her lower right cheek as she let a knowing smile make her expression. You could feel her deep red eyes down on you, but they felt cold, gilded in ice, but also warm. Her breath ghosted over you that mimicked the confusing signals of her eyes.

You finally opened your eyes, adjusting to the moonlight over your face from the wide open window. A cricket singing in monotone, some leaves rustling in the wind. Your eyes opened fully and settled on hers. White. It’s all you saw around the familiar face. White hair, white outfit, a large white fluffy tail in your peripheral gently swaying up then down onto the mattress almost silently. That red cloud patterned tattoo on her thigh down her leg as her finger hovered over your nose from behind your head as her smile widened slightly.

“Look who’s awake…I’ve been watching you like this for about 10 minutes. Honestly…I wish you would’ve slept longer~”

Shunguang, the alter ego of Shunguang, connected her finger on your nose. The tip of her finger was cold, as cold as when this alter ego rejected your presence and saw you as an indirect threat to Shunguang’s life, but now…carried something warmer than what the actual Shunguang offered, something that wasn’t scared to make it known. To envelop what it desires in the warmest flames. The switch up is crazy.

“Good evening, and long time no see…my…or ‘our’…beloved Junior~”
