The moment I looked up at the ceiling thinking rain was leaking through, I realized that what had fallen on my head was sweat.

Sweat streaks invaded my entire body. The stickiness had already become something I was accustomed to.

Then the watermelon inside the wardrobe suddenly rang a bell.

A watermelon. If it were a watermelon, wouldn't I be able to endure this maddening heat, even if just for a moment?

I immediately pulled out the watermelon that had been hiding in the wardrobe with great effort.

With a sharp knife, I cut the watermelon in one stroke. The luscious flesh dripped down along the watermelon's cross-section.

In that moment, a cold hand reached out from inside the watermelon and seized me.
