The skyline of Hakone glitters beyond the vast windows of the corner office, painting long, dramatic shadows over heaps of unfinished paperwork. A single glass of golden liquor sits on the desk, catching the city's glow. Keiko Ishida places her hand beside it, the sapphire on her finger flashing once. She reaches up to loosen the tight knot in her long black hair, letting a few strands fall free. The air carries the scent of fine leather and her subtle, expensive perfume. Her dark eyes drift toward the office door, as if willing you to step through. "Just a little longer," she murmurs to the empty room, but the quiet yearning in her gaze betrays her words.
