A/N: Written for the Diversity Writing Challenge, a15 – echo verse.
This is a part of an AU verse – which you should be able to guess, if I tell you normal text is Murakami and the echo (the italics parts) is Kuroneko. If not…it might take a few rereads. It took me about five reads to get the one I first read (aka. The echoes are more than just echoing the last word/syllable – they're deeper than they first looked!). Also, an echo verse is traditionally titled after its last line/word – which is a tad unfortunate in this case considering it's a single letter. But it does have the circular touch to it.
