A Brother's Concern

"Did you notice?"

"Yeah… apparently, he hasn't left his room all day. The Exchange is in just a few days…"

"Is he even taking it seriously?"

A few students had just returned from the Training Hall, returning to their Dorms for a quick shower and a lunch break when they glanced in a certain direction: the room of the Shame of the Zephyr Household.

There was sheer silence emanating from the room, but if one moved closer and placed their ears on the door, loud snores could be perceived from within.

Ashfelt Zephyr, the one residing in the room, was yet to come out despite it being late afternoon, and practically everyone who passed by his room knew he was sleeping. Not only was that incredibly lazy for a student to do, but with the Exchange around the corner, it was an irresponsible act for a participant.
