The next morning, Coco woke up before anyone else and left the house before the sun had the chance to rise in the sky.
Coco had been feeling increasingly distraught and the night had brought little rest to her troubled mind.
She made the decision to seek comfort by sleeping in Heiren's room for the night and didn't ask for more, and she was quite thankful that the second husband was understanding.
As the first light of day crept over the city, Coco quietly snuck out into the cool, sleepy streets, her thoughts still weighed down by the completion of Quizen's quest.
Coco wrapped her arms around herself, trying to shield herself from the chilly morning air as she walked through the quiet streets and because the sun had not yet fully risen along with the city being still steeped in the shadows of the pre-dawn hours, the air was cold against her skin.
