It was morning, you could hear the morning doves singing outside your window as the sun invaded the room through the clear curtains. There was nothing new, but it was expected as everyone had a routine, even the birds.

Days like these were rare, Joyce had already left to work at Two Whales Diner and so there was only you and your stepdad that was having his breakfast by the table, reading an Arcadia Bay's journal. But as you approached, you could see that he was just having coffee that morning.

Noticing as you approached from the stairs, David looked up from his journal to look at you. "Good morning, kid." He said, calm but at the same time it was David, and so he always sounded annoyed.

"What happened? You woke up later than usual... don't stop with your routine just because there are no classes for you." He said, as he was scolding you for having slept a bit more than usual.
