dextera’s home is moderately more furnished than it was before, and sleeping arrangements have been just that—arranged, so that no one is sleeping on the floor or in too much discomfort. he’s never shared a room with anyone like this before, and it’s been an adjustment period, but it’s not at all unpleasant. even with everything going on outside in the town proper, and beyond that in alenroux and highstorm, there’s something undeniably comforting about this closed, private life with makoto.
