< MIYA'S CONDO — Bedroom,

The bed, the nightstand next to the bed, and her jacket when she unhooks it from the coat rack are all blurred. Miya recognizes that her blurred vision is caused by her tears.

Miya slips on her jacket fast. Her thoughts is in disorientation as she picks up her phone off the bed. She considers calling Mafeh or Yuna to look after Chi while she goes out, but she doesn't want to trouble them at this late hour. Her sobs are uncontrollable due to the difficulty on her mind.
