(Memory Cross) A Dream Like Reality 5

Story:

Class 2-A. Peach slid the door open and stepped into the morning classroom noise.

Class Rep Reika was on her at once—having clearly appointed herself Peach's personal oversight committee since the resort incident—and her greeting came with the full weight of Hououin over-care, eyes sweeping Peach like a scanner.

"Peach. Good morning. You look—are you alright? You have significant periorbital darkening. Are you sleeping? Any headaches? Dizziness? Anything unusual at all since—"

"Reika, good morning, I'm fine," said Peach, waving her hands, deploying the best excuse available to modern high school students everywhere.

"I think... I just slept too long at the Hououin Resort, you know? Overslept so much at the trip that I couldn't fall asleep last night at all. Jet lag. From... a coach."

Reika looked at her for one long, unconvinced second—filing something away, Peach could see it being filed—then let it go. "The clinic appointment is Friday. Don't forget."
