She’s just a normal girl

Despite being fully asleep, Alice gripped Hiro's wrist with quite a lot of force. Who knew where she got that much strength in her sleep.

Sleeptalking? Or is it a nightmare?

Hiro didn't know which one was happening to the person he just moved onto the bed.

"Yuujin, please don't go. I don't trust them," Alice continued to sleeptalk. Her long and sharp nails scratched Hiro's hand and caused him to wince in pain.

Still, he intentionally didn't wake her up. He wanted to know, what was she dreaming about? This was the second time she mentioned Yuujin's name in her dream.

Hiro decided not to leave the room. Instead, he crouched next to Alice and closely observed her face. The old room warmer failed to neutralize the cold temperature of winter, causing her nose to slightly redden.

Even Hiro felt that the temperature in the closed room was really cold and wanted to use something to warm himself.
