I don't know what this says, but it looks like what Yuki would have done with their names. ;) |
Yuki wanted to ask about Mina, but wasn’t exactly sure how. “Was this a bedroom?” she tried. If the room had belonged to Mina, as Yuki supposed, that might open the topic.
“No,” Eiko said. Her smile dimmed slightly. “Is it not right?” she asked. “Does it look like a bedroom?”
“No,” Yuki answered quickly. “It’s a lovely room. In fact,” Yuki reached into her bag, “I have a gift.” She unrolled it enough to reveal the top of the first character.
Eiko paused and seemed to frown, but it passed quickly and she was grinning again. “Let me see it! It looks wonderful.”
“It’s not my best,” Yuki warned.
“Beautiful,” Eiko insisted, unrolling it completely. “I will have to find a place for it.” She looked at it for a long while, rolling it slowly when she did. “Where do you think I should hang it?”
