It has been a long day for the Cavalry captain, and he wanted nothing more to go home and pass out on the couch, sleeping the next few days away.

With an aching migraine and his body hot like the deserts of Sumeru, it was getting increasingly difficult to walk back home. He leaned against a wall, collecting his bearings and holding back the rising bile in his throat.

It was around midnight, so no one would be around to help if he were to pass out from exhaustion.

Or so he thought.
