"Penny, we're here.

"Hmm?" She rubbed her eyes, still half asleep. When her vision grew a bit clearer, all she saw was the concerned look from her brothers. "Huh?"

"Penny, are you okay? Hugo asked while retrieving his hand. "You nodded off as soon as you sat down in your seat.

"Ah. Hehe. Yes, I'm okay Penny intuitively turned to the window, furrowing her brows as this wasn't the usual place the driver dropped them off.
