Part 2

A planetarium…

…Yeah no, I can see that, and I know you’re a space geek—

But why now?

I sleep better with this on. It is relaxing to feel one with outer space.

…I’m definitely not relaxed after being suddenly jump-scared like that.

Besides, I can’t sleep unless it’s completely dark.

Is that so? I am sure that was not the case before.

Ah yeah, it started after middle school.

I see…

…But do I really have to turn it off? I am used to seeing it as I sleep, and I’m sure you would like it too if you gave it a try…

Urg…

I mean, if you want to have it on that much, sure, I guess.

…! Thank you, Uu-chan.

As thanks, I will explain how this planetarium works to you.

Wha…? Explain?

Yes. You will feel more in touch with space, therefore, improving your sleep, if you understand the structure better.

I will start with the origin of each planet’s name—

(And there he goes…)

(It’s bright even if I close my eyes, and Muu-chan’s voice is too hyper right now, there’s no way I can fall asleep like this…)

Next, I will talk about the constellations. I believe you are a Pisces? To locate the constellation, you must first locate the Great Square of Pegasus—

(Muu-chan’s voice is making me sleepy. Is this what people call ASMR…?)

(Honestly speaking, I kinda need both the right brightness and voice quality to fall asleep…)

(But this feels pretty good…)

…is the special characteristic of this star. Do you have a particular star you are interested in?

…

Uu-chan?

……

(...I might have been too forceful about my hobbies yesterday. I probably annoyed Uu-chan quite a bit.)

(He is still sleeping… When he wakes up, I must properly apologize.)

*yawns* ...Mornin’.

You woke up on your own before the alarm rang…!

Ahem, my apologies, Uu-chan.

Huh, what? You’re scaring me, why am I waking up to a 45° bow.

I interfered with your sleep yesterday due to my thoughtlessness.

You typically have a hard time waking up in the morning. However, you did not require me to throw you out of bed today. I’m sorry I disturbed your sleep.

Ok, I’m not that bad at waking up.

From now on, I won’t use the planetarium anymore. Then you can sleep better.

…I think you’ve got the wrong idea. I actually slept great today.

What?

I don’t know, but hearing your voice made me super sleepy, and before I knew it, I was off in dreamland.

That’s why, um, I’m not saying to have it on everyday… but I don’t mind if it’s only sometimes. And if I’m feeling it, I’ll also listen to your explanations.

Uu-chan…

—Yes. Let me know whenever you need it.
