The sound of the alarm clock jolted Kanon from her sleep.

As she slowly got up, she stretched her legs and rubbed her eyes. The faint light filtering through the window curtains indicated that it was already morning.

"I need to get ready," she mumbled, dragging herself out of bed and heading to the bathroom. 

The sea of books on the floor seemed like a chaotic obstacle course, but she navigated it with ease. Each book, strewn about in seemingly random fashion, held a specific place in her mental map.

"Something is wrong?" She muttered to herself after she reached her bathroom.
