Forever Sleepy

Text: If a girl has some weird quirk that makes them cute—it's only cute from the outside. For me, the feeling disappeared right away, and now I'm stuck wishing that I could go back. My body used to belong to my best friend Kanata. She was always very sleepy, all of the time. Wherever she went, she was constantly laying down and falling asleep. She even had a favorite pillow that she had to bring with her everywhere. And now, that's how I am. Yeah, it might look cute sometimes, but I'm gonna have to spend my entire life like this. It sucks, and I hate it.

We knew each other for a few years. I used to help her out a lot since she had a problem with falling asleep in the middle of things. It was probably some sort of undiagnosed medical condition. There wasn't any medicine that could help her. But, I don't think it bothered her that much. She didn't seem to care that she was sleepy all the time. I would tell her that it was cute, and she would agree. She never knew what it was like to be normal, and for her, ignorance was bliss.

When the body swapping app became available, I thought I might as well take the chance to see whether life as a girl was really better or not. I offered to swap with her. I didn't think she would actually want to do it.

I don't remember much of what happened after. I was left there in a daze, drifting in and out of consciousness. Because of the shock of being in a new body, and with me not being used to dealing with her condition, I was sluggish and apathetic. It was a few days before I came to my senses and realized she'd ghosted me. I knew that I had to do something, but... I was just so sleepy. At the time all I could manage was just surviving and trying to get used to being in her body. The app shut down sometime around then.

If I look cute, it's because I'm too sleepy to be angry. It doesn't matter since it's permanent anyways. I guess I can understand why she left me with her body, after being like this for her whole life...

I'm getting kind of tired. I think I'll take a short nap really quick...
