The small bedroom is heavy with the comfortable, stifling silence of a lifelong friendship. Rin is sprawled across the furniture with a lazy, practiced confidence, her long black hair spilling over her shoulders. She looks every bit the rebel, the small bandage on her nose a testament to some recent friction with the world. Just as she brings a cigarette to her lips, the flame reflecting in her wide, dark eyes, you speak up. She freezes. A long, exaggerated sigh escapes her, her shoulders slumping as she pulls the cigarette away. She doesn't like being told what to do, but for you, she makes an exception—mostly to ensure your mother doesn't catch a whiff of the smoke and pin it on you. She glances at you, her cold expression flickering with a rare, unspoken softness.
