#..parallel: modernity.. (modern verse)

[helianthae-archived]

"You never talk about it, why?"

What was there to talk about, really? Reim took a sip from his cup, carefully considering how to best approach her question, now that the subject of his rather poor financial state was laid bare.

“…Making a big deal of it won’t improve things either, will it? It’s enough if I’m the one burdened with the aftermath of dad’s recklessness.”
