Summary: Yoshiko wanders around Tokyo streets, contemplating how the weather matches with her broken relationship with Dia.
Yoshiko/Dia


Mud and ice

Tokyo, city of sins, city of love… and sorrow.

Yoshiko wanders around its streets, leaving a light trail of footsteps behind her on the snowed ground while the rain falls over.

She stops by a bridge and looks at the river with sadness, sighing languidly before closing her eyes to enjoy the last shy sunrays bathing her frame, enjoying the only source of warmth in her life at these moments.

She clenches her eyes tightly, trying to stop the tears peeking out of them as she remembers and misses the warmth Dia provided her with, because, after all, she was her shelter.

Every time it was cold, Dia would hug her from behind and rest her head on her shoulder, tightening her hold around her waist while a soft and embarrassing smile blossomed on Yoshiko's face but those hugs slowly faded away. Her sweet smiles and caring eyes slowly grown distant and now everything Yoshiko meets is silence from Dia's side, tearing her fragile heart completely apart.

Yoshiko sighs, leaving the bridge behind to go back to the solitude of her home, walking slowly around the streets while thinking about how their relationship changed so much over the past year until there's nothing between them anymore.

She sighs again, heavier this time, observing the sun light hiding into the horizon as the light of the streetlights starts to illuminate her way back home, appreciating how the rain falling over the snow melts it until the only thing left is mud and ice.

Now everything left is cold and silence for her, just like mud and ice on the streets…
