Erik said goodbye to his friends as they parted ways after their pleasant dinner. He felt content and full but was also tired, so eating didn't help him that much. It had been a long day, and he had been looking forward to returning to his room since today. He would get Nathaniel's power during the night.
He felt ecstatic and giggled as he returned to his dorm room with Benedict in tow.
"What are you smiling for?" Benedict asked.
Erik noticed his blunder and said, "Sorry, it's just that I'm tired, and I can't wait to sleep."
"Man, you are this happy just because you are going to sleep?" He laughed.
"Yeah, make fun of me, but you are no better!" Erik smiled back. His response made Benedict laugh, and he replied, "Well, I guess it's the little things in life that bring us joy." They both chuckled and continued their conversation.
