Desperate Search | Risu & Nobu
@dairokutenheir
Risu’s search for his murderer turning up fruitless day after day, night after night, was beginning to wear on his mind. He was asking people he might’ve known, people he didn’t, people who frequented areas the Cross-eyes did, and people who have never even heard of them before. He was no stranger to the underbelly of Shizume, having been involved with the Cross-eyes prior to his rather untimely demise, so he had checked with his contacts there frequently.
Every single meeting yielded nothing. The disappointment had long since turned to anger. Someone had to know something.
That’s when a girl with longer hair caught his attention. He had definitely seen her before, but he couldn’t really place where. Maybe she knew something.
“‘Scuse me,” Risu said, tapping her on the shoulder. “Have you seen a guy with crosses on his eyes like mine? Probably around this tall?” He held his hand at his eye level, which still towered over the girl.
