บท 55: †STORY†

Aria entered the bathroom and after 20 blissful minutes, she emerged, radiant and refreshed. Her hair was freed from its ponytail, flowing down her back, she hadn't taken a bath, just cleaned up and wore new clothes.

"Your turn," she said, smiling at Ryan and Samuel. Ryan stepped into the bathroom next, closing the door. The sound of running water was heard, after him, Samuel followed as each took their turn.

Finally, they gathered in the living room, dressed in comfortable, clean clothes. Samuel let out a bored sigh and stood up from the couch. He walked to the flat screen TV that was mounted on the wall.

"Doesn't this work?" he asked, turning to Ryan and Aria, his voice tinged with boredom, he needed something to distract and to do away time.

Ryan shrugged, settling deeper into the couch, "Haven't checked it." Aria mirrored Ryan's gesture, her stick laying close to her.
