November 22nd, 20XX

07:00AM

I wake up at the sound of the beeping alarm.

The more it beeps, the deeper the regret that I haven't ended my life already.

I force myself to stop the alarm and get up and ready myself for another hard day at work. Of course I will be trying my best to avoid working like I always do, considering that the pay isn't worth working hard enough to tire yourself.

As I get ready by eating, brushing and finally wearing some clothes, I depart.

Not to start a journey or anything but to wait there, outside my apartment. I wait for my colleagues who will drive me and themselves to our workplace.

After around five minutes of waiting they park the car in front of me and wave their hand, basically telling me to get in.

"Good morning."

"Good morning."

That's all for today's conversation with them. Just a greeting at the start of the day.

They're foreigners so I don't really understand their language.

They do tend to blast music from the radio though. It is the type of music I enjoy so that's okay.

10:00PM

The movie I'm watching is pretty boring. I decide to go out and clear my head.

Hoping I'll meet Eri once again, and remind her of what she told me last night.

12:00AM

I come home.

I go to bed with the thoughts that I cannot wait till Eri calls me. I can feel her presence, even though she isn't here. Maybe that's a sign.
