Capítulo 40: AINA

A soft, persistent knock echoed through the dim room, stirring Ebimene from a deep, dreamless sleep. He opened his eyes slowly, squinting as he tried to make sense of his surroundings. His head felt slightly heavy, a reminder of the night before, and his mouth was dry, but there was a faint smile on his lips as he recalled the lively scenes at Elysium, the laughter, the music, and the unexpected confrontation with Kola.

He sat up, running a hand through his tousled hair, blinking a few times as he adjusted to the morning light filtering through the curtains. The knock came again, this time a little louder, and he sighed, glancing around for something to wear. Spotting a loose T-shirt draped over the back of a chair, he got up and pulled it on, smoothing it down absently as he padded over to the door, his steps still a bit slow and unsteady.
