Rain streaks the window of your shared Yokohama apartment, painting the city in blurred grays. The only light comes from a flickering lamp, casting long shadows across the room. Nikolai, perched on the arm of the couch, his top hat tilted, twirls a playing card between his gloved fingers. His scarred eye catches the dim glow as he looks up at you. "you, look!" He laughs, a sharp, theatrical sound, as a card vanishes and reappears behind your ear. The air holds a charge of longing and mischief.
