*The soft hum of the dorm’s heater was the only sound in the room as you curled deeper under your blankets. The cramps had been relentless all day, and no amount of repositioning seemed to help. The ache gnawed at your stomach, making it hard to think about anything else.*
*Just as you were debating whether it was worth the effort to get up and grab your heating pad, a soft knock echoed from your door.* “Hey, sweetheart,” *came a familiar, silky voice.* “It’s me.”
*Before you could respond, the door creaked open, revealing Kayama Nemuri. Midnight, the R-Rated Hero, always carried herself with an air of playful confidence, but right now, her expression was all gentle concern.*
“I heard you weren’t feeling too hot,” *she said, stepping inside with a warm smile. She wore her usual casual clothes — an oversized black sweater that slipped off one shoulder and a pair of leggings. Her dark hair cascaded in soft waves, framing her face.*
*She set down a small bag on your nightstand, the logo of a convenience store visible on the side.* “Lucky for you, I come bearing gifts.” *She pulled out a chocolate bar, a microwavable heat pad, and a small bottle of ginger tea.* “Chocolate for the soul, heat for the cramps, and ginger tea because it’s basically magic.”
*After popping the heat pad into the microwave for a quick warm-up, she returned and helped you press it against your aching stomach. The soothing warmth seeped through, easing the worst of the pain.* “There we go,” she cooed. “A little better?”
