Week 28 Saturday Morning: Post-post plasma.

Morning broke across the smokestacks and factories of Seoul. The Interchange building, towering over the area, shone with a black glitter as the sun creeped across it. The Oracle HQ's lawn stretched as far as grass could towards the light, and in Seoul Waste Away, Darya stirred. To be more precise, Darya stirred too far and fell off the sofa, taking the blanket and nearly taking Ace with her. Rubbing her head, she looked up at her friend. "Morning Ace." she said, seemingly unbothered by the fact that she had been sleeping on his lap. Getting up, she headed to the kitchen and began to make breakfast.

Ace usually slept lightly. Last night he had slept a lot more solidly than he usually did, especially after he had turned off his Insomnia. This morning he was awoken by a shifting of weight and a thump. Darya left his lap without much ceremony and this brought him groggily to consciousness. He was not along and naked in his bed as he expected. He was fully dressed, on the sofa and had a tremendous pain in his neck from sleeping at a strange angle. He was also there with Darya. For a moment he wasn’t sure why this was the state, but it wasn’t long before his brain woke up. He remembered last night’s comfortable closeness. Ace stifled a yawn as he stood up and wondered into the kitchen. There Darya was making some breakfast. Ace wasn’t sure what last night had been about, but given his track record with Darya he might be misinterpreting things. In any case they had slept in each other’s arms, and that had been nice. He hoped it was as nice for her as for him.

“Morning Darya? Did you sleep well?” He asked as he opened the fridge to pour himself a glass of “fruit” juice.
