Reiji slowly opened his eyes.
His head was throbbing. Not enough to make him want to scream, but enough to make every movement feel slightly annoying.
He frowned and brought a hand to his forehead.
"Do Awakened even get headaches?"
He slowly sat up.
The throbbing in his head seemed to follow the movement, making him wince slightly.
"What the hell..."
Reiji rubbed his temples.
He had never really experienced something like this before. His body had become far stronger after becoming an Awakened, and with his current physical stats, something as ordinary as a headache shouldn't have bothered him. Yet here he was feeling like someone was gently hammering the inside of his skull.
His gaze shifted toward the nightstand. His phone was lying there. Reiji reached for it and checked the time.
"4:44 a.m."
He stared at the screen for a few seconds.
"4:44..."
He let out a tired yawn. His eyes slowly moved around the room. That was when he noticed someone lying beside him.
