Chapter 2 - The Routine
My schedule is pretty normal, I wake up every morning and have a cup of cofee, I then wash myself and get dressed for school. I sleep at school, go home, play video games, rinse and repeat.
As I said, normal.
Why are you talking to yourself?
Her appearance caught me off guard, Rose usually wanders around to different places but every now and then she pops up close to me and asks something.
I consider talking to myself normal, it's my way of organizing my thoughts.
She looked satisfied with the answer.
Have you tried doing something different every now and then?
Many people asked me the same exact question, I always give the same answer.

Why bother changing a working formula?
I live by this belief, I sleep at exactly 3AM every night, I wake up at exactly 7AM every morning, I drink the same brand of coffee, wash my hair the same way every day and go on with my life just like I always have. I rarely talk to other people and I never find myself in any kind of trouble.
This routine is keeping me safe from the outside world, I see no reason to change it.
I see.
Her reply felt empty, she is a spirit, she has no worries in this world. No one can harm her. I suppose she can't understand the reason of my routine.
Is my existence affecting your schedule?
Rose politely asked me while staring at my eyes, even if she is an entity in this world she is still pretty.
Having you around doesn't change anything, my day's go on the same as always.
I see.
Another empty response, what kind of answer does she expect from me?
Rose's appearance didn't change anything so far, every day is always the same, the only difference is that I have someone to talk to on my way to school like now. Even though it's been a week since we formed the contract all Rose has been doing is roaming around and exploring the surrounding areas.
Yet, something doesn't feel right.
The future holds many surprises for you dear~
