Nighttime was her favorite time of day; quiet, serene nighttime. Free from the hustle and bustle of the household, it was easy to let fronts fade away and think clearly for a change. To be honest, it was nice sometimes to just have a few hours on her own – not that she hated how things were in the morning and afternoon, of course. Granted, it tended to be warmer and stickier than she liked, but that aside, she treasured the other two companions she had in those summer days more than anything else.
More, even, than Hiyori herself.
So, no, it wasn’t because of any dislike for her daily life that she enjoyed these moments of solitude. Instead, they were a respite of sorts, giving her strength to replace her façade of strength back on and face the world properly once the sun returned to tinge the sky with brilliant shades of blue.
That was probably a part of what had led her to accept a certain nighttime visitor, dyed in an electric blue of her own, with nothing but openness — because sometimes, there were things that you just couldn’t say to the people around you.
“You still haven’t told me your name,” she remarked after they had both fallen silent for a while. Her voice was quiet, not wanting to disturb the the other two residents who were probably fast asleep by then, but there was a genuine curiosity that came through nonetheless. “Or, do you even have one?”
It was a legitimate question, since aside from books or stories where computer programs could come to life, she hadn’t had any experience whatsoever with a situation like this. Hiyori had yet to ask about the origins of her phone’s newest resident (that would come when the other was ready, she believed) but if they were to keep this up, it would be difficult to carry on a conversation without something to call the cyber girl. Using ‘you’ all the time grew old pretty fast, after all.
There was a brief pause before she offered her own as an afterthought: “I’m Hiyori.”
The last thing the cyber-girl would have ever expected was to have spent God knows how long talking with a stranger. It was a little odd to do such a thing-- but it was nice all the same. Talking to someone you already know is a bit difficult, you don't want to be judged by them so therefore saying everything that's on your mind is harder -- even for a person or rather, cyber-girl like herself.
There was some sort of comfort in confiding with a stranger, being able to let all your feelings out and not have to worry about being judged too harshly, and if you were then what did it matter? They were just a stranger and chances are you may never see them again, ever..!
Although, to be completely honest, she was quite glad that she'd chosen to come to the phone of this stranger in particular, they seemed to understand her pain -- at least to a certain extent.
Blue optics widen slightly as she hears the stranger ask her her for her name. Ah-- yeah, I guess they'd been too busy talking to have introduced themselves. Better late then never though, she supposed. Nonetheless, though, Ene's brows couldn't help but furrow at the comment of 'do you even have a name.'
A few moments pass and the cyber-girl begins to open her mouth to speak-- only to close it once she heard the stranger beginning to introduce themselves. Blue optics stare intently at the girl who she now knew was named 'Hiyori' for a few moments, nodding once before opening her mouth to speak once again. “「Ene. My name is Ene. It's nice to meet you.」” Maybe 'finally find out your name' would be the better wording to go with but eh, what's said is said right?
