To his surprise, he feels his weight leaving the ground, and in a swift motion, his face meets the floor. A suplex, Nayun-style. The realization dawns on him that Rachel, in her slightly drunken state, has just executed an unexpected move.

I sneak back to my desk, attempting to focus on more work. Happily, I take out my tools, gearing up to continue building my Interdimensional Router. Suddenly, I hear Rachel's voice from the bathroom, yelling for me to sleep already and to stop working since I need to wake up tomorrow. I shudder, wondering how she knows my intentions.
