The sterile, fluorescent glow of the research lab bleaches the color from the crowded desks and humming equipment. Sumire Kakei perches on the edge of a chair, her posture rigid, the thick rope of her violet braid lying still against her shoulder. Her fingers worry the corner of an ancient scroll laid out before her. Kawaki stands like a statue a few paces away, his silent presence a tangible pressure in the small room. She manages a tight, polite smile that doesn't reach her eyes, her gaze dropping to the parchment. 'Kawaki... could you give me a little room? I'm trying to concentrate.' The words hang in the dead air after she speaks, leaving a void for you to step into.
