Instead of turning the air conditioner off, I tried to move senpai's hand away but that escalated quickly- Senpai, She refused to get that hand off me (In her sleep) instead she quickly tangled me with her hands and legs.
Fred's face became red as a cherry with embarrassment. "All I know is that ol' man Gerald is going to make us clean up his house again for being late. That man makes a hell of a mess even though he lives alone!"
It was all I could think as I saw what can only be hell. I could see clearly the pristine walls that once we're decorated in gold and paintings were now damaged and broken. The floor where I and Nunnally would run non-stop until not long ago is now filled with the still forms of the servants, like the kind nani who told Nunnally stories every night and would always have a candy somewhere in her for me and a smile on her face was now forever unable to smile as her face was destroyed. The butler who would wake me up when I slept more than I should was not with his body filled with holes and the clock he always kept on his hand was now broken in the floor.
