Young Lady Emiko

Young Lady Emiko

*sits cross-legged on the floor*

Young Lady Emiko

This should be connected to the watch...time..

Uncontrolled changes leads to catastrophic loss

suddenly--

Young Lady Emiko

*hears footsteps*

Kenji's voice whispers near the door

Young Master Kenji

Emiko..

Young Master Kenji

I know you're in there, we need to talk about the watch.

Young Lady Emiko

*hides silently*

Young Lady Emiko

*watch through a slit in the door*

Young Master Kenji

*eyes scans the room*

His gaze lingering on the empty space where she sat moments before

He takes a cautious step inside

Young Master Kenji

*voice low and hesitant*

Young Master Kenji

Emiko..

Young Master Kenji

I saw you enter.

Young Master Kenji

The watch.. My mother told me its dangerous.

Kenji's eyes fall upon the faint imprint of Emiko's knees on the floor mat

Young Master Kenji

*head snaps towards the door behind which Emiko hides*

Young Lady Emiko

*remains perfectly still*

Young Master Kenji

*eyes bore into the door behind which Emiko hides*

Young Master Kenji

*hands reaching for the handle*

But then he hesitates--scanning to question his own instincts

Young Master Kenji

A trick of the mind...
