Bab 81: Sleepless night

Somewhere deep in the forest, a hooting sound of an owl can be heard echoing in the middle of the night. And Ayana can't help it but count them as she's unable to sleep. Her body isn't tired enough to go for an another nap, making her stare at the ceiling like a wide-eyed maniac.

She has already lost her count multiple times, all thanks to those sudden random thoughts popping in between.

"Sigh. This is getting nowhere." 

Carefully and steadily, she somehow got up on her own feet.

Maybe a glass of water will ease out the dryness in her throat and help her sleep?

But the jar wasn't filled enough to quench her thirst.

"Guess I'll have to take a stroll up to the kitchen then." The idea seemed nice, so she went ahead. Except that on her way to return, she took the wrong turn and ended up in an altogether new section of this second floor which she didn't realise existed before.
