When Orion laid eyes on Lemira that morning, there was a hint of awkwardness in his demeanor.

He straightened out his robe, trying to sound indifferent, "You're up?"

"Yeah, just feeling a bit woozy."

Orion hesitated before asking, "Remember anything you did last night?"

Lemira racked her brain but ultimately shook her head, "No clue. Did I embarrass myself or something?"

He had been up all night worrying about it.

Now, he realized he might have overthought the situation.

Orion let out a sigh of relief, "Getting drunk late at night can be dangerous. Try to avoid drinking from now on."
