You missed the bus, arrived late to work, and got verbal abuse from your boss because of it. When you finally get to go home, you by your favorite convenience store to pick up some dinner only to realize they’re closed. When you finally get to bed, you’re tired and worn out. But sleep is a million miles away.
Life’s depressing, it’s always been. BUT NOT ANYMORE! Now, you can make some hot chocolate, add an indulgent amount of marshmallows, put on your coziest pajamas, and let Utena’s nurturing voice (CV: Izumi Fuuka) gently lull you to sleep with some Gushing Over Magical Girls ASMR.
