"You don't need to come in anymore." I stared at him in shock then shook my head and remembered what had happened last time. "I uhm, I got my second stage letter yesterday..." He glanced up for a second at me or so I thought until he pulled down a pair of socks from the drying line, "good for you I guess." he folded them nicely then tossed them into a bag labeled 'Shonu's.' I walked around the machines to get closer to him, only for him to move to another one, rummaging through the lint pile. "So...That means I'll be able to pick a partner soon too." He just shook his head and politely said, "ah...I guess you're right." Then silence. "H-haru?" I stammered. He looked up from his work, "hm?" "A-are you alright? You seem--" He cut me off before I could finish, "I'm fine just busy that's all. Do you mind giving me some space, it's already stuffy enough in here?" And just like that, I could feel it. The detachment in his voice. I slowly backed away from him and was about to leave, but then realized why I came here in the first place. I straightened up to attempt to regain some confidence. Stepping forward with my chest up and my shoulders back I clearly stated, "marry me." Follow along with Azami as she searches for the truth the dictator of Tomo has been hiding like his father before him, about the secrets his country had that no one knows anymore.
