ㅤ ㅤ Those words made a smile cross her face. Not exactly joy or enthusiasm, one could say there was even a hint of sadness or tiredness somewhere. Reputation was essential and Reimi knew it pretty well, but she couldn't help feeling that people were mistaken about it most of the time. ❝ I would say you have your music— And this is more important than your reputation, too. ❞ Her tone still gentle, but the sparkle in her pink eyes was sharp, almost severe. Many people she met recently had bad reputations — but their hearts in the right place. Hey, look at the people around them! Rohan was one of the handful ones, yet he put aside even his beloved manga to be as useful as possible. Josuke and Okuyasu dressed as delinquents, and acted as one often, but all their words and actions towards her were absolutely kind. It was the case with Johnnie for sure. ❝ I’m just assuming things, of course. ❞ No hesitation, no apologies, no need for them when only the truth was invoked. If he shared the same beliefs, it was to be decided later.
ㅤ ㅤ The truth was, her sympathy blossomed the instant Johnnie entered the ghost alley. His appearance was unusual these days, but made her chest a little warmer. Familiarity, that was what she saw in him, in his clothes, in the way he spoke. As a child of the 60s, with a father strongly influenced by the culture of that decade and the previous one, curiosity encouraged him to enjoy the good things that existed beyond the quiet, suburban life. Looking at him was like looking at a fragment of the past — sweet memories that never left her mind. ❝ I don’t know any of your songs, as you can imagine. ❞ A nonchalant wave of her hand towards the bare walls, that made a disturbing, distressing silence hover over them. It was possible to pick up some sounds at the edge of two worlds, but music was a rarity. ❝ I would like you to play something for me one of these days. ❞ Hands hidden behind her back, her head tilting to the side with the most angelic face to soften him up.
