It's the last midnight--
Who: derbruder & payback
When: Evening.
Where: Outside Madara's onsen.
Summary: Giovanni pays his favorite girl a visit, one last time. Not that he knows it's the last, but he's still paying her a cordial visit as ever.
Warnings: Creeping. Grinning. Finality. Action tags!!
[It's dry now. Drier. The darkness is shorter than it used to be. Time has passed very slowly--faster when Heine was here; slower without him. It reminds Giovanni of an hourglass, of watching the sand drift down the sides. He can't remember when he last saw an hourglass. Things like continuity have never seemed to matter.
For a second, he almost wishes that it did matter. That there was some anchor.
He rocks forward, peering over the edge of the roof to the far-off sidewalk below. This is anchor enough, for now--enough to keep him level and grounded against the roof, if not grounded for long. There is something interesting about Rin Asano, something that brings him here, to this roof and this place, and now he sees her shadow along the ground. She tries to hide, she's always trying to hide in one way or another--but Giovanni's eyes are quick and good, and he knows what to look for.
He stands. His shoe scrapes against the roof.]
Rin Asano!
[He calls down to her, and he smiles.]
