the first time it happened usagi was surprised to see a small white creature sleeping peacefully next to her head when she opened her eyes. she thought nothing of it since the creature was known to sleep next to everyone. she interacted with her as usual, but usagi was a little wary all the same.

the second time it happened usagi nearly fainted from embarrassment when she opened her eyes to see a pair of blue eyes similar to her own. fai gave her a smile, but had mercifully not teased her about it. usagi evaded him for the rest of the day.

the third time it happened usagi wanted to die when she opened her eyes to see a pair of blood red eyes barely holding back from twitching with discomfort. she literally shot backwards to the other side of the room, her face so red she just knew she had created a new color. she couldn't even look him in the eye for days.

the fourth time it happened usagi dreaded opening her eyes but did so anyway, revealing concerned and lightly worried

own eyes. without apology or an explanation she ran out of the room in her pajamas. she refused to speak to him for an entire week.

the fifth time it happened usagi was ready to just fall into an endless black pit when she opened her eyes to see a pair of green eyes watching her with sympathy. usagi couldn't handle it and, barely remembering to put some more decent public clothes on, dashed out of the building. she could not even let herself be seen until they went to the next world eight days after.

usagi refused to let it happen again, thus she took precautions. when everyone went to sleep, she sneaked away to a different part of the building. this went on for ten days, and every night she would only be able to get at most four hours of sleep because of the nightmares and trying to not wake anyone up with her unconscious sobs.

the others noticed well into the first week how tired she had become, but every time they tried to get her to talk about it she waved their worries off. what she did not realize was that they in fact had heard her cries every night. with every day that went by, with every morning seeing her becoming more and more like a phantom, with every night hearing muffled cries, it became impossible to ignore.
