「3ʀᴅ ᴘᴇʀꜱᴏɴ, [ɴᴀᴍᴇ]」

The sun shone bright and early that morning. But for [surname] [name], bright or not, it made no difference to her.

She blinked up at the white ceiling as her blanket was pulled all the way up to cover her nose.

'Ah... That's right. I'm here again.'

After spending an entire week out of the house and around the volleyball team, it felt heavy being back in her own house and bed. Despite the brightness the sun brought in through the curtains on her window, [name] could not find it in herself to feel energized. Darkness constantly loomed over her, blinding her.

'Let's see... what shall be the reason I get up today?'

This was how every day began. Waking up, searching for a reason to keep going.

The birds chirped loudly outside, indicating a beautiful start to the day.
Some would happily bask in the noise, others would grimace at the sound. [name] did nothing. She felt nothing.

She shut her eyes for a moment as she reminisced the past few days. [name] was stuck sleeping in a room on her own during the training camp while the rest were together. They had to separate the genders, of course. But despite hearing their noise from the other side of the wall, [name] didn't feel like this.

This loneliness inside. It's been a constant factor in my life.

'Ah, I have that quiz later. I need to get up for that.'

But no matter how hard she tried to tell herself to, [name] couldn't bring herself to pull herself out of bed. Instead, she turned to her side and cuddled her pillow closer.
