An Extra’s POV

Alicia's room was cute.

It wasn't as pretty or as spacious as Esme's bedchambers, but it had a unique feel to it that Rey felt it would be ridiculous to compare the two.

Her room was painted in pure white, with hints of blue here and there.

Rey already knew this, but Alicia was a minimalist—barely having anything of note in her room.

It had a simple design, and her bed also appeared very simple, though incredibly spacious.

'I bet Snow sleeps right next to her.' Rey thought to himself.

Seeing as the rabbit instantly hopped to the bed once they arrived in the room, he knew his theory was spot on.

The most pleasant thing about the room for Rey, however, was the scent.

'Smells like Alicia… all around.'

Rey wondered if he was being a creep for thinking thoughts like this. He couldn't help it, though.

Every whiff he took reminded him of the girl who was right beside him, and it honestly felt like he was close to her at all times.

"Sorry if it doesn't meet your expectations. It's nothing special, really." Alicia broke Rey out of his thoughts, causing him to return to reality.

"O-oh, no! Not at all!"

Rey's expression had been blank since they entered, so Alicia must have taken it to mean that he was unimpressed with what he was experiencing.

However, it was the opposite that was true.

Because he was so captivated by what he was seeing, and so excited to be in her room, he refused to let his overflowing emotions burst out.

As such, he ended up looking blank.

"It looks so pretty and simple. So comfortable…" Rey leaked out a small smile, casting an intense gaze on Alicia.

"It smells like you, Alicia."

"W-what?!" Alicia's cheeks began to show signs of pink.

Rey was either blind, or he wasn't paying attention, because he didn't stop.

"I'm serious. Honestly, I just feel like closing my eyes and sleeping here."

"C-come on, don't exaggerate!"
