flashback time! @kwanmg, are you following Dahui? ‘Cause it looks like you’re following Dahui.
Subway carriages carried a unusually high concentration of interesting people. The odds that she would encounter a person clearly tattooed from head-to-toe on the street, were zero-to-none considering the scariest gangsters kept their tattoos hidden and most citizens did not want to be accidentally mistaken for mob bosses. Yet here was a man, tattooed practically everywhere as far as the naked eye could see, sitting across from her in the subway cart. Her upbringing hadn’t exposed her to the colourful world of recreational tattoos so Dahui couldn’t help but cast a few glances here and there –– the poor girl tried to be discreet but failed terribly considering her mouth was practically agape. Her eyes were too curious for her own good and they returned every now and again, after her common sense reprimanded her, to get their fill, to study the art he’d chosen to permanently ink all over his hands, forearms, neck. She wanted to know everything about everything, what it all meant and if those really were coffins on his fingers. He even had facial tattoos, a tear drop underneath his right eye... Did that mean he’d killed somebody? She was pretty sure that meant he’d killed somebody. He looked like he could snap her neck cleanly in two for staring too long to be quite frank––
Their eyes met briefly as she stumbled down her mental tangent and she felt her heart leap cleanly out of her chest. As a highly intuitive being she could sense something there. An exchange of elusive emotions, verging on the cusp of negative energy, between them. The lion and the lamb historically were not a great mix.
The stops flew by and she refrained from making the mistake of looking at him again, only acknowledging him through a respectful goodbye nod as she hopped off at her stop. Dahui had never been a fan of looking back, it slowed her down, it was uncharacteristic of her cautiously optimistic self, but on that fateful day she looked over her shoulder and... To her surprise, shock, horror and dismay, he was a couple of steps behind her, taking his sweet time, walking in her general direction. He’d gotten off at her stop too. This fact alone convinced her that she was as good as dead.
