Characters: Rei Kurosawa (cursed_tattoo) and Miku Hinasaki (followthedead)
Location: Rei's apartment
Rating: G, probably...
Time: November 9th, afternoon
Description: Playing catch up. It's raining again...
On her first night here, Miku slept for a long time. Deep, dreamless sleep. When she woke up, she stared at her arms and legs and waited for the cursed tattoo to come consume her whole. It didn't.
The second night, Miku slept less but dreamed. But it wasn't the same dream that had been tormenting her for the past few days. A new dream, just snippets of memories she thought she'd never see again. Memories of her brother and her, flickering back and forth like candles in the wind. She felt like she was being torn in two; one part of her wanted to stay with Mafuyu- wanted to apologize, wanted to see him, just wanted to be with him again and never let his memory fade away- but the other knew she had to stop. She had to turn away. She had to move on.
She was still going to be dreaming if she ever went home, but would she ever wake up again? Even if Rei defeated Reika, she'd gone after Mafuyu. How far had she gone?
If you follow the dead, you can't come back!
Today, it was raining. The light pitter-patter of raindrops was soothing as she lay on her bed, staring at the ceiling. She'd promised to see Rei today. She'd even prepared some riceballs for the occasion. Visiting the grocery store was both a surreal and mundane experience. It seemed so routine, so normal, compared to what was happening around her. As if nothing had ever happened.
What... What should she do? Would going back to her life be like this?
Well first, she had to get up. Miku stood up and made sure she looked presentable in the bathroom mirror. The last thing she wanted was Rei to worry about her. She retrieved the plate of riceballs from the kitchen and exited her apartment. Rei's place was just across the hall... She knocked on the door, nervously chewing her lip.
