Blostars' first tour began for me when the clock hit midnight. Even though I went to bed as early as I could, I only got three hours of sleep.
I stood up from the bed, careful not to awaken Aki. There was no need for me to take a shower since I had taken one before going to bed, so I simply changed into casual clothes and approached the door.
At the same time I grabbed the handle, Aki's raspy voice sounded behind me.
"Don't take long."
"I won't," I smiled.
I stepped out of the room and closed the door.
Only one light illuminated the otherwise dark hallway, coming out through the gaps between the doorframe and the walls of Umi's room. She usually stayed up late and even played the guitar some nights. I had confronted her about it before, but it was useless. I merely shook my head and headed downstairs and out of the building.
