"Let time take its course."
"But..."
"I know there is no cure. I will make the most out of the time I have left in this world"
Heart-wrenching sobs filled the room.

Reiko could've sworn the street she was on looked familiar as she stood in front of the large house. Then it clicked. I live a street away...this is the house behind mine... Asano unlocked the door and she followed him inside, taking her shoes off at the entrance.
"Ah, if it isn't Walker-san. I must say I'm surprised to see you here." The principal said from his place in the living room that was next to the entry way. The man could see the two from the large archway that led into the living room. Reiko cursed under her breath.
"Father"
"Principal Asano" She said in greeting, not bothering to meet the man's gaze. I'm too tired for this
"I don't think you need to wear that getup now. After all, we already know what you look like" The Chairman said. Reiko stared at him for a moment. Asano turned to look down at the girl and watched her sigh before reaching a hand to grab her green hair.
She pulled it off, revealing cascading white locks. "Has anyone ever told you how unsettling you are?" Reiko replied, pressing the side of her head. Her entire face dematerializing including her amber eyes to reveal a pair of scarlet red ones. Nanotech? Asano realized.
"My, what an advanced disguise." The Chairman said. Reiko paid the comment no mind as she put the wig in her guitar case.
"We'll be off now, father" Asano said, taking Reiko's arm and leading her up the stairs. Breaking up the staring contest she had been having with his father.
"Be sure to not do anything indecent" Principal Asano called from his place on the living room couch. Asano's ears turned pink at the words as he opened his bedroom door and allowed Reiko to enter before he did. He closed the door behind him and for locked it just in case.
Asano took her guitar case from her and set it on the ground. His eyes widened at how heavy it was. Just what does she have in there?
Reiko ran a hand through her white hair as she looked around the room.
The walls were lined with bookshelves full of practice books for different subjects. The large bed in the room being the only remotely bedroom-like piece of furniture. Trophies lined one of the shelves and a computer sat atop of his desk next to a stack of practice books that he was probably working on. It was different from Karma's room for sure. She had been to his house a few times and the redhead's room did have practice books but he also had different game consoles and a television for him to play games on.
"Do you do anything other than study?" She asked, her eyes landing on a photo next to his trophies. She walked towards it and looked at it. Her scarlet eyes widening when she realized what it was a photo of. It was the two of them during one of the last galas she attended before her parents were murdered. She picked up the photo and stared at it while waiting for Asano to answer.
