Except that the paradox was that the world was slowly spiraling into madness, and no amount of cardiovascular exertion was going to stop it. Shehk wasn't the only up early, or maybe late, depending on how you looked at it. Seiji was in the fitness room already, sitting on a bench in only a pair of light shorts, bent over to tie his jogging shoes.
Him being up and about at this hour was nothing new, he'd been going out on morning runs since he'd come to amity, and no amount of personal drama was going to stop him. If anything he went out more now, considering his reasons for staying bed were significantly fewer these day.
He didn't immediately notice Shehk coming in, not until he sat up pull his hair back into a tight pony tail. He froze, fingers halfway through his hair, and blinked at the ghoul before finishing the motion and setting his hands on his thighs. "Morning." Being such an early riser, it wasn't often he encountered anyone this early.
