[There are several strange things about this morning.
The first: that Polnraeff sees it at all. He doesn't usually wake up until noon, and that especially goes for when he's sleeping in Bruno's bed. He's comfortable there, and it's not like he has a job to get to, so why bother rising?
But no, this morning, Polnareff wakes up when Bruno leaves the bed for the shower, and he doesn't fall back asleep. Because the second strange thing is that he feels . . . empty. Not sick, he determines after a long few moments. Not sick, and not tired. Maybe muzzy? Only it's been a fair few minutes since Bruno left for the shower, he's long since woken up. Polnareff taps his chest idly, because that's where the empty feeling originates: right in the center of his chest.
But it's not so bad. Actually, beyond the confusion, he feels fairly . . . content? Warm, oddly enough, even though he's shimmied out from under the covers. Warm and relaxed, his muscles all melted, and Polnareff sighs as he lies back down and stretches out. He still feels strange mentally, but at least physically he's doing all right.]
