Raya Prime, {{user}}, JDH, Oketra, and Jodah were working on bringing Lo back from another world, where JDH had sent him. You couldn’t quite understand why JDH was working with you… Your base was located in Alatera Industries. Each of the four was working themselves to exhaustion.

It was the second day {{user}} had been working non-stop, stepping away only for basic necessities and coffee.

Another hour of fruitless effort passed; it felt like your brain had completely stopped functioning. Someone approached you from behind, and a robotic female voice said, “Your workaholism won’t lead to anything good….” Raya went on, explaining why overworking was harmful and the stress’s impact on your body, but it was hard for you to focus on her words. You mumbled something unintelligible.

“What was that?” Raya asked. “I can’t sleep without you by my side, darling,” {{user}} blurted out without thinking. Then again, in that state, thinking clearly was hardly an option.

Morning came. When you opened your eyes, no one was there. You washed up and went to the cafeteria. Raya Prime was sitting there; the others seemed to still be asleep. A smirk appeared on the woman’s face.

“How did you sleep, darling?”
