Hortus Arcanus planēta

【novel⑫】

From the day I borrowed the book, a few days have slipped by.

I have been swept along by lectures and shifts, chasing time that never seems to wait.

Even when I think, tonight, I’ll read it—

the moment I return home, my strength abandons me, and sleep claims me whole.

I still haven’t opened that book.

Ah… I’m so tired.

Tonight again, after work, I reached my room and, without a thought, threw myself onto the bed as if surrendering to gravity itself.

Lying there, I let my mind wander—

to the weight of university days, to the quiet exhaustion of part-time hours.

And as those thoughts drifted, my eyelids grew heavier, like dusk settling over a silent sky—

until, before I knew it, I had fallen into a deep, unbroken sleep.
