Zzz…

…

"… uhm… uh…"

The eyes opened wide, after they blinked twice.

"… ugh… no wonder I opened my eyes: this smell is hammering my nostrils."

Her back rose up from the bed.

"I better get up and open the window, before my head starts spinning around and force me to pass breakfast."

Her feet went above her home slippers.

"I'll keep the window open, so I can inhale some fresh air and peek on the roads… watching real Squids driving their cars or walking on the sidewalk is still a nice mental stretching, which everyone should do. So useful for the later laptop and smartphone use..."

The girl walked in front of a closed window, as her hands grabbed its handle, pushing and pulling it: sunrays entered inside her room, as her eyes squeezed a bit.

"Instead of forcing my eyes, I should take those sunglasses I still have in my closet…" She turned behind, walking towards her closet. "Maybe Rof's gift might have an use, after all those years!"

Her hands grabbed the closet's handle, pulling them wide open. She bends down on her knees, as her hands went over a small black case, grabbing it from the edges while her right thumb raising the case lock.

The lid rose in a 90° arc, as Mirii's eyes were staring down at several items including a closed lipstick and a book with the cover showing a black background, stars and planets spread around and a title saying "Space: Facts and Fictions".

Her right hand hovered above the items, lowering towards a pair of sunglasses, which were resting upside-down.

"Good to know that my memory is still as fresh as I claim…" She smiles, as her right hand brought the sunglasses in front of her eyes. "Before I look outside the window, I need a mirror for self-judging my looks and see if my appearance conforms the norms of finesse and authority."

Her left hand hovered above a small, round mirror: her fingers picked it up, carrying the mirror in front of the girl's face. Her head tilted left and right for a moment, before her mouth stretched the lips forward. She giggles a bit.

"I should keep those sunglasses: the materials are still so clean, I can see my reflection. That's what perfe"

Knock, knock!

Mirii's knees stretched upwards, turning behind and watching the door with her mouth open.

"I'm coming!" Her hands pulled out her sunglasses, as she began walking.

Her left hand let the sunglasses, while her right hand put those on her desk. Mirii took a loud breath, before reaching the door and grabbing the door handle.

"Who is it?" Her head rose and her eyelids lowered slightly.

"Hun."

Mirii's eyes widened, her mouth opened slightly: her right hand pushed down the door handle, pulling the whole door and watching the boy smiling at her. Her cheeks blushed a bit, as her irises immediately jumped from his face to his plain white shirt.

"Good morning, Hunley!" She smiles a bit.

Her irises fell on her own pajamas, shrinking a bit before returning on her eyes' middle point.

"Forgive my terrible appearance." Her mouth downturned a bit. "I just woke up…" Her mouth waved, as her arms crossed, her hands grabbed her elbows and her irises went on her eyes' bottom-right corner. "… I don't even have any candies or anything"

"Mirii, don't worry."

"Oh." Her irises returned to the middle, as her mouth stood open.

Hun's eyes were closed.

"I just wanted to know if you were alright…" His eyes opened to the middle, as his mouth downturned slightly. "… Tonna told me about you going out of this building for me…" His cheeks blushed a bit.

"W-well!" Mirii's cheeks were now bright red, as her eyes were wide, her irises shrunk and her arms waving on her sides. "I-I wanted t-to save you from th-the scam the HQ pulled on you!" Mirii nodded, as she took a deep breath. "N-not that I thought you weren't capable of completing the mission… on the contrary, I calculated the probability that you"

"I didn't completed the mission, Mirii…" Hun frowned a bit. "… I let down so many Squids believing in my skills…"

Mirii's face became paler, as her mouth flattened. The boy's head turned down and left, as his irises were staring at the red carpet.

"… the Stingrays got away… and I still cannot accept that!" Hun's head returned in the middle, as his frown increased. "Those fiends will return again, attacking the innocents even more!" His eyes squeezed, as his right fist rose and shook. "If only I knew about the suit's consequences, I would had kept even more energy instead of wasting them at every Stingray I saw!" His eyes opened. "I swear to train harder and become an even better Squid than I'm right now! I must do it, there is no other choice!"

Mirii's eyes blinked… as her eyebrows lowered slightly and her head rose.

"… such noble words, Hunley… I'm impressed." Her mouth closed for a moment. "Even surprised, considering how humble you usually appear." Her cheeks blushes. "I can't hide my curiosity for this… heroic side of yours. In fact, I find it unfair that such potential is kept away under insignificant circumstances."

Mirii's eyebrows went up, as her mouth smiled.

"That's why I intend to help you out in your quest for becoming an even better Squid… although, I have some other tasks to complete." Mirii nodded. "You said that Tonna told you about me… when she told you that?"

"This morning." Hun nodded, smiling. "She briefly talked to me, in front of my room, before moving out of the building."

"Drat!" Mirii frowned slightly for a moment. "I see… very well, I'll prepare myself before heading out for breakfast."

"Oh, sure. I'll wait here." Hun walked backwards, as his back hit the wall. "Take your time."

"Appreciated your patience." Mirii giggled, as she turned behind. "See you in a minute, Hunley."

The girl walked inside the room, after her left hand pushed the door back, as it closes in a clicking sound. Mirii snorted, as her head pointed towards the opened window.

"… change of plan: I'll help Hunley improving his own skills, right after breakfast!" Her eyes squeezed a bit. "Once I learn Tonna's return, I'll immediately visit her office and interrogate her about yesterday's events. I do not have any permissions to interrogate other suspects… nor there is an official way to learn said permission."

The girl began walking.

"I preferred to take a look outside, with my beautiful sunglasses… but Hunley is waiting for me outside. I can't disappoint him…"
