Kenma's POV:

beep.

I reach out to press the alarm clock on my side table.

6:30 am
December 14
Friday

The time and date, it displayed.

'Why can't today be a Saturday?'

Placing my feet on the floor, I bend down to pick up a pillow from the floor. I dragged myself to the bathroom for a quick shower.

// 10 minutes later //

Drying my hair with a towel, I turn to the wooden sliding closet and got a black shirt, gray sweatpants and the red jacket that read Nekoma in capital letters.

I shuffle towards my volleyball bag to check the contents,

'towel'

'water jug'

'change of clothes'

'a pack of rubberbands'

and now towards the necessities,

'money'

'phone'

'earphones'

'psp?...'

My eyes scan around the room trying to remember where i placed it.

'What did I do with it yesterday?...'

Now, I remember, I was playing it on my bed,

// Flashback //

It was 4 minutes before midnight.

I laid alone on my bed, playing the game called Sneaky Mystery. Trying to beat the boss who tried to smuggle the artifacts they stole from museums, I rolled on my back.

"Ughh."

The tiny screen displayed the words in bold,

Game Over

It was now midnight.

'I need to sleep...'

I tuck the console under my pillow and proceed to drift asleep, forgetting to charge the console.

// End of Flashback //

I pressed the power button, hoping for some kind of response from my precious baby.

The screen showed a dimly lit picture of a slash over the empty battery.

'Nooo.'

As I put it in my bag, a small frown was etched on my mouth.
