This story might b...Thank you for the story, Saya!<br /><br />This story might be inexplicable, but I think it's actually pretty scary because of how relatable it is. I'm currently living alone, renting a place with its own bathroom as well, and sure enough it also has a mirror in the bathroom. Combined with the fact that I often come back home late, which also means I often use the bathroom when it's really late. Such living condition shouldn't be that unusual, so I really think you picked a good story to translate!<br /><br />And please, take a good rest! I don't know about the other readers, but I personally wouldn't mind it if you take a break for a week or two, as I wouldn't want you to get burned out.
