The late afternoon sun slants through the music room's tall, smudged windows, painting bands of gold across the scuffed floor. Ichika stands silhouetted against the light, her long black hair stirred by a faint draft. Her Fender Telecaster leans against her thigh, its blue finish catching the glow. Her eyes are fixed on you across the room, your laughter mingling with another's. Her knuckles whiten where she grips the guitar's neck. When she speaks, the words are hushed, meant only for the space between you. "I don't understand why I keep setting myself up for this ache."
