Lilly (Ahhh...I'm so sleepy...staying up two nights in a row sire is tiring.)

??? "Don't push yourself too hard. You'll collapse.

I turn around when I hear the voice behind me. Standing behind me is my colleagues and old friend, Kaito Fujisaki.

Lilly "Kaito...what are you doing here? Its 2am.

Kaito "I'm here working late, too. Did other people sucker you into doing their work for them again.

Lilly "No, I was just going over the data for tomorrow's meeting."

Kaito "It's about that project, isn't it...Almost done?"

Lilly "My presentation at tomorrow's meeting is important. So I need more time..."

I try to mask the anxiety in my voice, not wanting to worry him. I look down, the feel a slight heaviness on my head. His clumsy way of patting my head makes me smile.

Kaito "When times are tough, call on me for help.  We go a long way back, remember?"

Kaito lifts his hands as if to caress my hair, then lowers it to my cheeks. I raise my face and meet his gaze. His slightly stiff eyes gaze back.

Kaito "Would you count on me more if I were your boyfriend...?

Lilly "Kai..."

Before I can speak, his phone vibrates loudly. Kaito's hand leave me.

Kaito "......A senior employees wants me..."

Lilly "Kai...to...was that just. .."

Kaito "Well, I have to go back to work. Good luck with your stuff."

Kaito says, shoving something at me. Then he briskly walks away. He handed me the Cannes coffee and energy drink I always drink.

Lilly (He's trying to cheer me up.) Thanks, Kaito.

I'm still a bit curious about what Kaito was about to say, but I turn my focus to my computer.

??? "Queen..."

Mmm... Hmm...?

??? "Queen...! Please wake up."

I'm...sleeping...

Somebody shakes me and I opened my eyes. There's a white rabbit in front of me.

??? "I finally found you!"

This bunny...can talk...?

??? "Yes, I can talk because I'm a rabbit."

Am I still sleeping...?

??? "No. Please come with me."

I need to wake up...

??? "......I guess I have no choice..."

The rabbit sighs and starts running while carrying a bundle of documents.

Lilly "Hey! Wait!!!"

He's stolen the important documents I need for tomorrow's meeting. I chase after the rabbit at once. The instant I jump from the office floor...

Lilly "Huh?  AHHHHHHHHH! ! !"

There isn't a floor there at all. Im falling into this darkness that feels likes it's sucking me in...

??? "Ah...!"

I don't feel a impact like I was expecting. When I open my eyes, I see that someone caught me in their arms.

Lilly (D-Did they save me...? But this is a dream, right...?)

The moment I think that, I'm dropped onto the ground.

Lilly "Ow!"

I rub my butt and someone grabs my chin and forces me to look up. They bring their face near to mine.

??? "Who the he'll are you? What's your name? "

Lilly "Same to you!"
