A woman wakes up disoriented after a one-night stand, still in bed with the person she spent the night with. With hazy memories of drinking at a bar, meeting new people, and bringing someone home, she struggles to piece together the events of the previous evening as the reality of the situation begins to sink in.

Ao woke with a start. She blinked a number of times, her eyes adjusting to the morning light streaming through the windows. She didn't remember going to sleep.

Slowly, she tried to remember what had transpired last night. She went to the bar with Oga, met some friends of his, hung out for a while with that one guy... what was his name? They had been doing shots together, and then Ao brought him to her apartment to drink some more.

He hadn't realized Ao was a woman until the two were already a few beers deep and watching an action movie on the couch. She remembered she felt all warm, and then she had unbuttoned her shirt. He had seen her bra underneath and freaked out a bit... but then they laughed, and drank some more. After that, Ao remembered pulling him into the bedroom... followed by-

Ao began to panic and instinctively raised the blanket to cover herself. "Ah! Um... Good morning..." she looked away, her face red as a tomato. "You uh... sleep well?"
