A new dawn — Collage by Kenma

New numbers appeared on her pocket screen. What are these again? She unlocks the door, throws away her gloves and leaves her bag on the floor. She needs a moment to make sense of the numbers. It was a long day at school. Ah yes, some information about down there! How did this past half-day go? she thinks ironically. Great, temperature is in check, hormone curves seem normal, and today I got enough exercise for my pelvic floor.
