    Summary

    ...It’s quiet again. A space for something that can’t quite be said yet. Ena is about to speak, but Mizuki gets there first.

    “I’m sorry, I can leave you alone if you want. I just thought this might help.”

    “Help? Help how?”

    “W-Well, I was having trouble sleeping and…I like hearing your voice.”

     

    - Alternatively; Ena reflects on how far she's come, where she's going, and who she's with.

    Summary

    Her cheeks, along with the tip of her nose, are still pinkened from the cold. Strands of her hair lay disarrayed and windswept. Her toes curl and uncurl inside her socks, feet idly kicking along the floor.

    Mizuki must still be staring, because Ena’s eyes narrow at her. “Were you waiting behind the door the entire time?”

    “Maybe I just wanted to surprise you. A surprise welcome, you could say,” she teases, because it’s better than admitting that she had been doing exactly that, overcome by nervous excitement for tonight.

    She needs to get herself together. Come on, Mizuki. Ena’s always been this pretty. It shouldn’t be any different now, even if it is because Ena is in her house for the first time.

    Or: Having recently started dating, Mizuki and Ena have their first sleepover (among other firsts).

    Summary

    “I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have suggested…”

    “It’s fine.”

    Ena can’t look at them. Because if she does—the dam she’s so carefully built over the years, sealing away the flood of emotions that have shaped her as a person, will collapse and drown her whole.

    So she leaves. Her pace is brisk and rigid, and she doesn’t dare to turn back.

    All she can do is pretend she didn’t catch a glimpse of Mizuki staring emotionlessly at the ground, at the cusp of crying. Lacking warmth and everything that makes them who she has fallen in love with.

    Summary

    Ena fears that she'll spend her entire life living in her father's shadow, constantly reminded that she will never be able to make it as an artist. When presented with the opportunity to stay at a secluded Manor with a reclusive composer as a live-in artist, Ena doesn't hesitate.

    But when she arrives and feels the strange pull to the boarded off tower of the estate, Ena finds herself involved in helping to end a magical curse, and a mysterious sculpture that feels so familiar.
