For the first time, I experienced the agony of insomnia.
At home, my mother and I were like strangers. She wouldn't cook for me, and I wouldn't address her as "mom."

I changed into a waitress uniform and entered the venue. I moved around the grand hall, preparing things. It was such a grand place, and I had never been here before.
I held pastries in my hands and spotted William. He winked at me, making me flustered, so I lowered my head.
