Summary
The room was quiet, save for the faint scratching of pencil on paper. Chidori sat cross-legged on the floor, surrounded by a sea of her artwork. Her eyes moved from the television to the clock on the wall, the ticking a relentless metronome counting down the minutes. Each second felt like an eternity. She had been waiting for this all day.
Her drawings, a mix of intricate landscapes and familiar places, filled the space with a silent narrative of their own. The colors danced around the room, reflecting off the walls and mingling with the subdued glow of the setting sun. It was her way of passing the time, of keeping her mind busy until the moment she had been eagerly anticipating.
The TV flickered, broadcasting the evening news. Chidori's gaze remained transfixed on the images flashing by, but her thoughts were elsewhere. They were with Junpei, her caretaker and boyfriend, who had been working tirelessly at his part-time job to make ends meet, since she couldn't work. The hours apart had been stretching longer and longer, and she could see the fatigue etched on his face every night when he returned home.
