(no subject)

The photograph is still on his desk, still face-up. But there is something else beside it on the desk.

A teacup. White china, like the ones the bar has been giving him.

Yet there is a small smudge of lipstick on the edge of the cup, for some reason.

And inside the cup at the very bottom, is a delicate-looking signet ring with a stylised rose crest.

Mikage only hesitates for

(an eternity)

a fraction of a second, before he reaches into the cup.

The ring slides easily onto his finger. As if it were made to fit him perfectly.
