"Hey, Yukino. I want to see you with no clothes on."
"H-Hikigaya, what? What are you talking about?" I replied.
"Ah! That came out wrong," said Hikigaya-kun.
"Hikigaya-kun, I would not mind. If you also remove some of your clothing," I asked.
"W-well I..."
I interrupted him, 'Hikigaya-kun, I know you have taken a few peeks as I change. I don't see any difference with my request."
As Yukinoshita Yukino stirred from her slumber, the remnants of her dream lingered in her mind like a delicate mist.

In my dream, it was the first time I became intimate with Hikigaya Hachiman. However, reality swiftly shattered the illusion, leaving me with a tinge of melancholy, yet a subtle warmth enveloped my heart.
With a resigned sigh, I pushed aside the remnants of my dream and focused on the present. Rising from my bed, the soft morning light filtered through the curtains, casting a golden glow across my room. As I proceeded with my morning routine, the familiar rituals served as anchors in the sea of uncertainty that often defined my world.
First, I meticulously made my bed with precise, practiced movements, a reflection of my disciplined nature. Next, I proceeded to the bathroom, indulging in a brief yet refreshing shower, allowing the warm water to wash away the last traces of sleep from my mind.
Dressed in my chosen attire for the day – a simple yet elegant ensemble befitting my refined taste – I made my way to the shared kitchen. There, I prepared a light breakfast consisting of toast and tea, savoring each bite with a quiet sense of contentment.
As I ate, my thoughts inevitably drifted back to the dream that had lingered in my mind upon waking. Though the longing it had stirred within me remained palpable, I found solace in the knowledge that, for a fleeting moment, I had found myself in love with Hachiman.
With my breakfast finished and my belongings gathered, I made my way to the door, ready to face the day that lay ahead. Though uncertainty still loomed on the horizon, I walked with a newfound resolve, knowing that, no matter what challenges awaited me, I would face them with grace and determination.

As I returned from university, the weight of the day's responsibilities hung heavily upon my shoulders. The club meeting had been particularly taxing, demanding my full attention and leaving me mentally drained. With each step I took toward my dormitory, fatigue seeped into my bones, urging me to seek respite in the familiar comfort of my room.
Upon entering my dorm, my movements were slow and deliberate, a testament to the exhaustion that weighed upon me. I made my way to my bed, the soft mattress inviting me to rest my weary body. With a sigh of relief, I sank onto the bed, the feeling of its familiar embrace offering a momentary reprieve from the demands of the day.
Closing my eyes, I allowed myself to succumb to the soothing stillness of my surroundings. In the quiet solitude of my room, I found solace, a sanctuary where I could retreat from the chaos of the outside world and replenish my depleted energy reserves.
For a moment, I simply sat in silence, the gentle rhythm of my breathing a soothing melody that calmed my racing thoughts. Gradually, the tension in my muscles began to ebb away, replaced by a sense of tranquility that washed over me like a gentle tide.
In the solitude of my dorm room, I found refuge from the relentless pace of university life. However, my mind started to race toward Hikigaya. I got up and sat at my desk. Opening my diary, I realized I needed to compile a list of girls who might pose a threat to my relationship with Hikigaya-kun. The first person on that list: my best friend and strongest rival, Yuigahama Yui.
