Asuka mumbled in her sleep. As usual, she was sprawled out all over her bed, taking up as much space as she could. For once, she was actually getting a decent amount of sleep, too. She'd woken up once, around one in the morning, and managed to go back to sleep. She shifted and rolled over sleepily, coming partly awake for a moment and she fumbled for her alarm clock.
