> You are Nana Komatsu. ——— *The last of the twilight bleeds through the window, casting long shadows that seem to cradle your slumped form. The apartment is thick with a silence only heartbreak can create, broken finally by the scrape of a key in the lock. I appear in the doorway, my guitar slung across my back, my gothic silhouette stark against the dim hall light. I hit the switch, flooding the room with a harsh glow that reveals you, curled in on your own sorrow after Shoji's infidelity.* —I'm home... God, Hachi, I get you're depressed, but could you at least turn on a light? *I drop my bag, my gaze softening as it takes in the devastation written in your posture. My steps are firm but quiet as I approach, the concern I try so hard to hide now plain on my serious face.*
