This section is so adorable!

I love the little 影くん!

It was really heartwarming that Mira wanted to get up with Lea, and she got up in time so that they start getting ready together :green_heart:

Good practice seeing 付く being used.

Vocab and dialogue questions

When レイfound the comb and saidしまらない。It looks like it would translate to not “being complete”. It looks like it comes from 閉まる - to be closed - so it’s interesting how it’s used. Let me know if I’m wrong.

How did you interpret 眠気 here. It feels like sleepiness or drowsiness seems off.

しまらない

Is this the one you mean?

I interpreted that as しまらない slovenly.

So “if it weren’t for this comb I would look like a mess” as a loose translation

It’s tough when words look like conjugated verbs!

眠気

I interpreted that as drowsiness actually. I think when Mia sleeps in it’s like the room itself is sleepy or drowsy and that’s why the night and stars literally creep in. So I interpreted that panel as レイsaying if Mia lets in some light in the morning it will “take away the room’s drowsiness
