The day ran by peacefully for Mari as well. She woke up refreshed after her nap and started taking care of her checklist and getting ready for work - a process which took a surprisingly short time. Her shift that night ran smoothly, and the hostess was in a good mood for the whole evening.<br/><br/>When Dumas left to pick up what he needed, Mari took this time to tidy up the bedroom and prepare a meal so they could share when Dumas returned. It wasn't hard to get into a routine in the next few days. They worked, they ate, they chatted, watched something or played poker - an activity in which Mari's natural honesty made her basically terrible. It didn't matter, she still had fun doing it. It was simply comfortable having Dumas there, and she felt secure that she wouldn't do anything stupid in case her other self took control.<br/><br/>As she inevitably did. After a few peaceful days in which Mari managed to live her normal life, Shadow Mari decided it was time to take over again. As usual, Mari went to sleep as herself, and woke up as a different person altogether. As she woke up that morning, the first thing the girl noticed was that she was not alone. "Holy shit, dummy", she whispered to herself, "did you finally nail this guy? Nah, you're too goody-goody for that". As she stood up, Shadow Mari yawned and looked around for a cigarette. Cursing under her breath, she shook her head and slipped quietly out of the bedroom after picking up some clothes. The first sound she could do nothing about was that of her taking a shower. She just hoped it didn't wake Dumas, whatever the hell he was doing there. She really didn't want a watchdog following her around.
