Lisa slept deeply, and when she woke up, it was dark. Her limbs felt limp, and she was so exhausted that she couldn't lift her head or even her fingers.

She closed her eyes again to rested before she extends her hand to get her phone next to the pillow, her eyes narrowed as the screen lit up. ——Ten p.m.

The sounds of other students coming and going were still coming from the corridor behind the wall. ——Why were the lights already off at ten p.m.?  

Just as she was thinking this, her ears picked up the sound of a chair gently dragging against the floor. In the dim light, a figure stood up and looked at her, "You're up? Shall I turn on the light?"

It was Rosé. —— Her heart filled with warmth, and Lisa asked softly, "Are those two asleep?"

Click——The bedroom was illuminated by warm white light, and Lisa squinted again.

Rosé took her hand from the switch beside the door and said, "The two of them went to another dorm to visit."

Lisa said "Oh", and propped herself up into a sitting position, dozing off against the headboard.

"Are you hungry?" Rosé asked carefully from below.

"A little bit." Lisa, not regarded as an outsider, sprawled over the railing and looked down asking, "Is there anything I can eat?"

She naturally didn't prepare any food when she returned to the dormitory this time.

Rosé dragged out a storage box from below the table, picked out a few different kinds of snacks, and placed them on the table. She clapped her hands and generously let Lisa choose for herself, "Instant noodles, biscuits, chocolate, bread."

"Instant noodles."

"I'll boil the water. Rest a little while more, I'll call you when it's ready."

"I can do it myself" Lisa moved busily, drawing up her long hair and tying it up, before getting out of bed. She couldn't help but feel uncomfortable allowing others to take care of everything for her.

"Okay, then I'll go and call those two back to take a bath. They're having too much fun to remember that it's almost time for lights off." Rosé smiled, accepting her feelings.

The water in the kettle started roiling turbulently, and a fine steam was emitting from it. 

Lisa propped herself up against the table, her lips hooking up slightly, reading the news posted in the class chat again and again, over ten times, until she could memorize it before she kept her phone away.

While making the instant noodles, she moves her chair out to the balcony. This kind of smell would take the better part of a day to air out in a dormitory room.

Lisa does not like to eat soft noodles, so she uncovered them in exactly three minutes. She twirled her fork a few times and blew on it.

Before she could even take her first bite, Somi's boisterous laughter rang ahead of the sound of the door opening.

Lisa looked up.

Three people entered the empty dormitory room all at once, and it immediately became lively again.

Somi took one look at Lisa, and without caring whether she was still eating her dinner or not, she excitedly shared with her upon closing the door.

"Nancy is back! I heard she's so angry her nostrils have bent out of shape, the whole floor heard her throwing a tantrum in her dormitory!" She laughed loudly, "I am so happy!"
