Stella fell asleep while being in her deep memories. In her sleep, she felt as if she had sunk into the deep sea. She floated along with the waves, all the while in a daze. She seemed to be bound by the water and couldn't float up to the surface no matter how hard she tried.
"Darling, Darling, darling, darling, what's wrong with you? Wake up, darling..."
Vaguely, Stella seemed to have heard a child's voice calling out to her. The voice drifted far from the distance as if it had been passed on several centuries ago. She had completely lost her sense of reality.
She opened her blurry eyes and sat up in a trance to find Adrian lying prone on the bed, looking at her.
"What's wrong, darling? Were you asleep? No matter how I called you, you didn't respond." With a pout, Adrian complained to Stella in dissatisfaction.
