When Rei opened his eyes that morning, something felt off.
It wasn't the usual sensation of being stared at by five overly affectionate women hiding in absurdly creative locations (last night it was under the floorboards—thank you, Rosette) nor was it the ominous feeling of knowing he was probably being recorded in his sleep for a future "Wedding Vows Compilation" by Lilia. This time, it was... worse.
"Why is my vision filled with hearts?" Rei mumbled groggily as he sat up.
Floating in the corner of his vision was a newly installed UI overlay—bright pink, excessively sparkly, and shaped like a heart-shaped bomb.
A moment later, a familiar divine giggle echoed from his bathroom mirror.
"Good morning, darling disaster" Goddess Eris said as she popped into view, lounging upside-down in the mirror like an Instagram model who'd transcended shame.
"Oh no," Rei groaned. "What did you do this time?"
"I upgraded your interface!"
