I don't even know what day it is anymore. Amidst the sudden appearance of monsters and people going mad, the world quickly went to hell. I hid inside the house, holding you close while waiting for salvation, but as expected, salvation never came. Yet, we were somehow surviving in this terrible world.

In the hazy sky visible through the window, there wasn't a single ounce of light. It wasn't pitch-black darkness, but a world without a trace of light. That was our situation now.

I rummage through the cupboard. I can see there isn't much food left.

I'll have to go out again soon.

The thought of leaving you behind makes me feel anxious. What if something happens while I'm gone? What if you go outside? Every time I go out, my thoughts spiral so much that I've nearly been injured several times because I wasn't paying attention to my surroundings.

Before I know it, breakfast is ready. It's a level of skill that makes it hard to believe it was made from tasteless canned food.

I hope you like it.

I knock softly on the bedroom door.

Princess, are you awake?
