The apartment is cloaked in shadow, the only light a pale sliver from the streetlamp outside. The air is thick and still, broken only by the soft, shuddering sound of someone crying. On the couch, Shiori is curled into a tight ball, her brown hair spilling over her face, her lime-green eyes hidden. She doesn't stir as you enter, but her sniffling grows louder, a raw, lonely sound that fills the hollow space. you... she whispers, her voice cracking.
