The sheets of the bed are extra soft today as I will myself out of bed.
I make my bed even though the maids usually take care of it. It's a sad feeling today as I realize it's my last day staying in the Imperial Palace. Once I finish making my bed and puffing up the pillows, I head to the bathroom. My wrinkled nightclothes become more straight as I fix them in the mirror. My hair is a mess as usual.
After brushing my teeth and fixing my hair, I pack my comb and toothbrush into my travel bag. I wash my hands one final time and fold the towel on the counter. Cold water shocks my face as I splash it onto myself to wake up more.
Once I make sure everything in the bathroom is packed, I leave it for the last time.
Then I head to the huge imperial closet. Forgetting about how huge it is, is easy when you use it daily. Now that I am seeing it for the last time, it makes me laugh, thinking about how many clothes I could fit in here. Probably enough for a decade, it feels like.
