Every so often, we would convene in one place or the other for a quick few minutes of passion before we parted ways again and went back to our respective talents.

Before, I had felt exhausted from too many things going on and from a lack of sleep from nightmares or anxiety. But now, I was just exhausted from staying up late and studying, and it was the sort of exhaustion that
