18 This didn't feel right

The next day, Haines woke up in horror as he realized he overslept!

"Ugh!" he felt his stiff neck, wincing as he realized he had fallen asleep on the desk again.

Deep lines appeared between his brows when he saw the end of the presentation. Haines didn't finish his paper last night and despite nodding off, he knew where he left off. Thinking he accidentally opened another file, he was about to close it but then realized what this presentation was.

"Huh?"
