Years ago, before the locket, Juri and Shiori used to talk about the future. Juri wanted to be a fencer, a model, or (one odd afternoon) a champion bowler.
"I'm going to be important," Shiori said once. "I'm going to be beautiful."
Juri looked at the brightness in Shiori's eyes. She traced the lines of Shiori's legs, the swell of her breast. A few stray hairs had fallen in Shiori's face and Juri imagined brushing them away. She imagined kissing Shiori. Instead she stared at the ground. "I think you're beautiful now," she murmured, but she didn't think Shiori heard.
