You awoke to soft fingers stroking your hair, and a sweet, comforting melody filling the air. You couldn’t help but feel relaxed, the atmosphere was just so comforting.
“Awake, are we?” A soft hum escaped your throat.
You opened your eyes to see Monika hovering over you, a soft smile gracing her face.
Every day started like this. You falling into a peaceful slumber while Monika watched over you. You weren’t sure if you have ever seen her sleep, but knowing that she was with you made you ignore her lack of rest.
Although you and Monika have been together for a very long time, it still felt strange to see her outside the clubroom.
You missed your old friends, Sayori cheerfully bouncing into the clubroom, Natsuki rummaging through the closet, and Yuri making a pot of tea. It all seemed so far away now.
It had been some time since the other girls had gone missing, but with Monika’s help you’re no longer grieving over them. You still miss them, of course, but the hole in your life had long since been filled my Monika.
She was so kind to comfort you after your friends went missing, staying right behind you at every moment. Even while you were in solitude you could almost always feel her presence in a strange way.
It was so strange to you, how the disappearances of your friends is what led to your current relationship. You felt it may have been some strange twist of fate.
You never questioned how Monika had seemingly became even more attached to you after the incident, how she had comforted you even before you had known they were missing. Monika did seem to know everything.
It felt so nice to be around her now, unlike the uneasiness of her presence before. It seemed that constantly spending time with her had made you come to appreciate her more. You couldn’t help but sigh in comfort as she carded her fingers through your hair. Maybe your friends disappearances were a good thing after all.
