An Awkward Situation

Max closed the system tab and decided to take a bit of rest and recover his energy. This unknown trial had made him quite exhausted.

An hour or so passed and Max finally regained enough strength to move around.

Max opened his eyes, planning to lift his head off of Elly's shoulder. But the next instant, he felt a weight on his head.

It didn't take him long to realise it was Elly.

Elly had fallen asleep as well. Max had taken her shoulder as a pillow while Elly had taken his head as her pillow.

She had her hand on Max's hand. They didn't have a separated arm rest for their seats. A common problem…

Well, it was probably an unconscious action in her sleep. She wasn't the type to initiate any type of physical contact after all.

Max gently held her head and got out of the awkward position before letting her head on his shoulder. 

"Umn…" 

Elly suddenly clenched the back of Max's hand which was on the armrest and a frown emerged on her face.
