Disconnected by the world, laying away as time passes by.

“Hey girl, how are you today? Yeah... well I’m alright.”

A yawn escaped the boy’s lips as he reached out to stroke his feline friend. The cat mewed in response, purring at the gentle motion. He turned his head to the side, adjusting his dark sunglasses, and smiled. It was such a peaceful day, just like any other day. Laying beneath an oak tree, Haruki felt at ease. Being shielded by the sun’s ultraviolet rays of death, it felt like he was a king of taking naps.

“You know, father scolded me again, said I wasn’t going to amount to anything unlike my brothers.” He gave a light chuckle with a hint of remorse. “Though screw him, I like my life for what it is. Nothing interesting is going on right now, why should I care?”

That was his main problem. His attention span would shift whenever it did not interest him. Though, he didn’t mind. As long as he felt relaxed, he was fine. Even if, there was always this nagging feeling, that there was something amiss. “I’ll just take another nap, all this thinking about the future is giving me a headache. Night, girl.”

“You cannot resist, so come to me Acedia, and together we shall raise hell.” That voice, there was no way he could disobey it. His eyes snapped open, the signs of weariness washed away and replaced with a muddled expression through his black glasses. Haruki stood up and walked away from his relaxing spot. The cat gave one last mew before scurrying out of sight. The young boy continued on before stopping at the sign of rose petals, his sense of control coming back to him.

“...Wha? Is there a party over here or something?”
