Pairing: Juri/Shiori
Rating: G
Word count: 100
The power of Juri's love lies in its silence. Juri knows that. If she spoke, then it would all be over. Even if Shiori rejected her (and she would, of course she would), at least she would be free. She would at last be done with the weight around her shoulders.
But Juri says nothing. She has worn the locket so long that she can no longer imagine what she would do without it. Would she disappear entirely, gone as quickly as sea foam?
Juri doesn't speak, even as she walks on knives. Even as she waits to be forgotten.
