On the surface of a black marble counter, a full glass of water sits still, condensation falling down the side and creating a small puddle beneath it.
Nionet watches idly in a white stool, leaning against the counter with crossed arms. Looking at the clock, it reads 11:15--an hour off, though no one bothers to fix it.
The room is dim, for the black curtains that drape every window prevent the early sun from shining through. It probably doesn't help that every light in the house is turned off...
Saying on a sigh, "Papa?" Nionet stands to her feet and grabs the glass of water. "If you're awake, I'm heading out." She raises the drink to her lips and sips it whilst waiting for a response.
After a second of silence, "Wait." A croaky voice calls from the hall, to which the girl lowers the glass and whips her head around.
The floorboards creak as an elderly man, though still in great shape, strides through the shadows and enters the living room. He proceeds to walk through the white columns that make an archway into the kitchen.
Nionet smiles, giving a bow as he approaches. "Good morning."
"Morning," Her father returns the gesture, leaning in for a hug. "Where are you going?"
"To help a friend run some errands." She says, hugging him back, then pulling away to meet his eyes, "I'll be careful. I promise."
"You better. I don't want you falling on anymore rose bushes."
At this, her eyes glance to the left. The shame of a lie tugs at her conscious.
After the fight in the tunnel, Nionet had to explain the injuries to her father. Therefore, she regretfully lied, telling him that she had fell into the thorns of rose bush while helping a woman plant them. As much as it hurt her to withhold the truth, it was for the better. Still, she holds the guilt as a punishment.
Turning around to avoid further eye-contact, the girl snatches her keys from the counter, "No more rose bushes. I'll remember that." She says, stepping beside and around her father, who chuckles at the comment.
Watching as she exits the house, he stands alone and gazes upon the half-full glass of water that was left.
...
After a short drive through the East District, Nionet pulls into a driveway, running smooth beneath her car tires. Luckily, Chikage didn't crush the vehicle to a crunchy pancake during his rampage--The questions from her father would be overwhelming.
Following the concrete pavement, a stunning, two-story house boasts a cream white color with modern design. Nionet parks in front of the garage on the right side and climbs out of the driver's seat, slamming the door behind her.
Taking a deep breath, she makes her way to the garage door and gives it two gentle knocks. The metal echoes a clang.
"Erich?"
