RAYA'S POV

I woke up earlier than usual today, even before my alarm could go off. The world outside was just beginning to stir - it was six in the morning, and a soft golden glow filtered through the closed curtains. I could hear birds chirping outside my window, their melodic sounds weaving into the silence of dawn. Stretching lightly, I rose from the bed and padded across the room to draw open the curtains, letting the early morning sunlight flood in. It bathed the room in a warm hue, making everything feel peaceful and alive.
