When Mio finally opened her eyes, she had no idea how much time she had spent sleeping. But it didn’t matter, because she had slept and there were no nightmares or visions for once. The only thing she had experienced during that time was pure darkness. But she had a strong headache and adjusting her eyes to the light seemed absolutely impossible for a couple of minutes. Her entire body felt a little numb but she slowly started moving and feeling muscles once again.
She found herself on her own bed covered by the blankets still wearing the dress she had on the day she had met An. The apartment started spinning around the moment she tried to move so she had to stay laying down some more time.
Next to her, she found the young alien had left her some water and suddenly Mio realized she had never felt such thirst in her life. She struggled for a while but she was finally able to sit and drink the entire glass of water in a couple of seconds.
‘‘ Ahhhh...’‘ Now she felt something else, extreme hunger that made her stomach her and growl loudly. Mio stood up, her legs shaking ad barely keeping her up. She placed her hands on the wall and slowly made her way to the kitchen that was only some feet away.
Inside the counter she found that An had bought her some instant ramen soups and inside the fridge she found white rice, an onigiri and some delicious side dishes. She devoured what was inside the fridge while she boiled some water for the soups. And Mio ate all of them at such a speed she couldn’t believe it herself.
That’s when An walked in and found her on sitting on the floor, surrounded by empty plates and ramen cups. Her back rested against the fridge and had her eyes closed. Feeling her stomach so full made her feel tired again...
While she ate she had wondered of giving something to An, thanking her for the long nap she had gifted Mio. Perhaps something to help her balance the alien’s energy and slowly help her recharge and not feel as weak when she couldn’t get her energy from humans.
‘‘ Yes, for you. But right now, I need more ramen and I already ate all of it.’‘
