บท 136: Chapter 136: The Morning Routine

Morning light filtered into the room, casting a soft glow on Sachiko as she finished her shower, feeling refreshed in clean clothes. The smell of freshly washed laundry filled the air, but she hesitated to go outside alone to hang it. The world out there, even with zombies that wouldn't attack her due to Ryo's presence, still filled her with a lingering unease.

Sayako, the female zombie, stood as always near where Ryo slept. Her eyes were closed—was she sleeping or merely resting? Sachiko couldn't tell, but the sight was unsettling yet oddly familiar now.

Instead of dwelling on it, she picked up a notebook and pen, deciding to start recording her observations. This was more than just her role as a researcher—she was now Ryo's woman, and this served as both a way to understand the bizarre world they lived in and to keep herself busy, preventing the monotony from taking over.
