Chapter 20 - End of Internships

With a sigh of relief, I pushed my room door open, the sight of my bed an inviting promise of rest. Careful not to crash into any furniture, I moved to plug in my dead phone, letting it charge as I collapsed onto the bed. Fatigue hit me like a tidal wave, and I succumbed to its embrace, my senses surrendering to sleep.

The following day, I awoke in the midafternoon, cocooned in a nest of blankets as if I was hiding from the world. For a small moment, the pain in my side seemed distant, but reality quickly reasserted itself, a hint of discomfort reminding me of my recent ordeal. I groaned softly, attempting to reposition myself while squinting at the blinding daylight outside the window. Why is it so bright outside? My fingers found my phone, and I carefully unplugged it, only to be met with notifications that filled the screen.

I tapped on the notification from the Lunch Bunch group chat, a pang of curiosity mixed with a hint of guilt. Why would they be reaching out to me?

Closing the chat, I figured they were likely busy in their own internships right now. With a touch of hesitation, I opened Denki's individual messages, a hint of guilt tugging at my conscience for not responding earlier, even though I had no way of knowing he was growing concerned.
