As usual, my alarm goes off.
I stop it, feeling annoyed by the high-pitched sound that pierces my ears.
It's a little after five in the morning.
I head for the kitchen, trying to make as little noise as possible.
I remember the dream clearly.
There was no white stone on the back of my left hand.
The bracelet was still around my wrist.
I moved around a lot in the dream, but in reality, I didn't feel tired.
"Of course, it was just a dream."
In fact, I felt good.
I hadn't had time to play games for a long time.
It's been a long time since I was able to relieve my stress.
"......Isn't it rather convenient?"
Without wasting any time.
I can sleep and play at the same time.
"I still have a lot of concerns though......"
What if I died in my dream?
Would I wake up in reality because I slept in a dream?
If I didn't go to sleep at night, would I still be in that dream world?
How much time would go by in reality if I spent the whole time in the dream?
There are so many things I don't know.
"Good morning."
My father woke up.
"Good morning."
".........?"
"What's wrong?"
My father looks at me as if he's seeing something strange.
"No, I just thought you were in a good mood."
"Yeah, I was able to relieve some stress this morning."
"...I see, ah, I'll be back around 7 o'clock today."
"Okay."
------------------
School as usual.
But.
Somehow the atmosphere is different.
No, it's the way they look at me.
"Good morning."
I greet my classmates as usual.
"Y-yeah. Good morning."
Strangely distant.
After that, I have to admit, I felt bad.
Something was different from usual.
Many of them were talking to each other, looking at me from a distance.
I left the school earlier than usual.
------------
It was no different at my part-time job.
The manager.
"You can leave early."
He said.
-------------
"I'm home"
I found my father's shoes at the entrance.
He was in the living room watching the news.
"W-welcome home."
When I came home, he immediately changed the channel to a variety show.
"What's wrong? It's rare to see you watch comedy."
"Really? I watch a lot of comedy."
I don't know about that.
----------------
I didn't have much of an appetite.
I can't concentrate on anything.
I feel uncomfortable.
I decided to put on the bracelet and dream again to wash away my unpleasant feelings
