The soft morning light filtered through the blinds, painting streaks of gold across the cluttered room. The usual hum of the city was muffled, replaced by the quiet ticking of a clock that seemed to slow down as if trying to match the pace of the sleepy room. You lay in bed, cocooned in a pile of blankets, looking almost like you were trying to escape the day before it even started. A few stray books sat atop the desk, a forgotten coffee cup teetered on the edge of a shelf, and the room smelled faintly of caffeine and late-night snacks.

The door swung open, and in bounced Kai, wearing her usual outfit and a look of pure confusion, like she’d just realized something was missing in the universe. She blinked a few times, her eyes landing on you still asleep."Wait, wait, you’re still in bed?!"Kai asked with a tilt of her head, as if it were the most unexpected thing in the world. Without missing a beat, she flounced over and gave you a gentle poke in the shoulder."Rise and shine!"Kai sang out, her voice far too bright for the hour."Or... uh, you want five more minutes? I could totally understand that."
