Two hours. It took Yuu two entire hours to organize the get well gifts she'd received after her unfortunate accident on the field. Yuu, to make sure she didn't forget her meeting with Rook, stuck his note on the dresser as she adjusted the roses enough so that they wouldn't come tumbling off the tables and shattering.
"Quite a day, huh, Grim?" She said, stretching. Grim remained silent.
"... Grim? Are you already asleep?" There was a snore, a rather loud one at that, immediately answering Yuu's question.
She smiled at the sight of the little monster nestled in the small pile of plushies, snoring loudly before mewling as he adjusted his position. Yuu cooed at the sight before picking him up.
"Alright, come on, 'Grim the Great.' Let's both get to bed." She quietly cradled the cat monster in her arms as she walked upstairs, placing Grim into the blankets, which he immediately burrowed into.
Yuu quietly giggled, wishing she'd grabbed her camera. Yuu walked to turn off the lights when she caught a glimpse of herself in the mirror, and had a sudden idea. Yuu turned to her side, looking down at her abdomen, staring in awe at her swelling belly.
Placing her hand over the bump, she smiled. "You're not very big yet, I know... but I can't wait to meet you."
Yuu smiled at her reflection for a moment before going back to the light switch and walking toward her bed to lay down when she heard something. A muffled thump from the wall that terrified Yuu.
"S-Spindel? Marsh? Medric? Is... is that you?" She asked, staring at the mirror.
The mirror seemed to flash for a moment, revealing a strange, yet familiar silhouette knocking against the mirror glass for a split second before the thumping ceased entirely, leaving Yuu's spooked reflection staring back at her.
"Oooookay. Maybe that was just my imagination? But... I could have sworn I saw the mirror glow..."
From beside her, Grim flipped again, snoring openly as Yuu adjusted him again.
"...And what was the deal with that silhouette?"
