When Eriko got out of bed, he stepped out of his room and walked into the kitchen to make his morning coffee. He moved slowly, his chest rising with a long, sleepy yawn as he waited for the water to heat up. Once the black coffee was ready, he opened the fridge, grabbed a beer, and mixed it with the coffee inside his proud Daddy-mug.
He called it Coffee-Beer.
He turned toward the living room to sit on one of the couches, only to find his ex-sister-in-law lying on it.
Her eyes were wide open, staring at the ceiling. Her chest rose and fell with short, tense breaths, her posture completely locked up after spending the entire night on the couch.
There happened to be several holes in it.
"Didn't I tell you to take your pups and leave?" Eriko said as he sipped his Coffee-Beer before sitting down on his single-seater couch. He let out a loud, satisfied sigh through his nose, his hand wrapping around the thick handle of his mug.
