No Identity: Blue Teardrops on the Floor

Chapter 4: Dizziness

"Well, that went a lot smoother than I expected." Hitsuei told Himiko.

"Yeah I know, right? Thought that would take a lot longer than just a couple of minutes."

"Ah, you two! Himiko and Hitsuei, was it?" A man ran down the hallway.

"Hm? What is it?" Himiko asked.

"We need to try and register his handprint again. He broke the entire system and we finally fixed it. Come with me."

"Um, okay. Come on Hitsuei."

"Right behind you."

"Alright, I'll try it again." Hitsuei said, as he got near the scanner.

"Just put your hand on it."

"Yeah yeah, I've done this before I can do it again." As he said so he put his hand on the scanner.

"Your handprint is being scanned. Please wwwaaaaItafhiaHFiahfIafhwauury-"

"Hm, not as surprising the second time. But why did it do it again?"

"You broke it again?" The man said. "But how?"

"Hitsuei, do you have any ideas?" Himiko asked.

"Maybe it's the magic? But I doubt it would affect it if i'm not using it..." He put his hand to his head in his confusion.

"Well... you don't seem bad. You can stay for now. Also, what do you mean by 'Magic?'"

"Don't worry about it." He looked towards the man. "Alright. Himiko, let's go." He shoved the doors open as it hit the walls.

"R-right, let's go."

"Here it is! Now if I could just find the room key." Himiko reached into her pockets.

"This is the room we got?" Hitsuei asked.

"Yeah, this is! We got it for free too! Sure it might be small but it should hold the job just well." Himiko pulled the key from her pockets. "Ah! Here it is!"

"That's the room key? Thought it would be at least a little bigger."

"Does it really matter what size it is?" Her head snapped into the direction of Hitsuei.

"W-well no, it really doesn't." Hitsuei looked down at the ground in embarrassment.

"That's taken care of then. Let's go inside." Himiko put the key in the doorknob and unlocked it. She then walked inside. "Come on Hitsuei."

"R-right." He walked inside gingerly. "That was very out of character for you, Himiko."

"I get angry when people make useless remarks."

"Understandable enough." He slammed the door behind him. "I get it."

"Right." She looked around the room, with multiple doors around them. "This is more like an apartment than anything. I thought it would be more like a jotel room."

"Yeah, that is true." He looked at the doors. "Well, let's explore the place. I think this is the living room, and the kitchen is right over there."

"Agreed." Himiko walked to one of the three doors. "I'll try this one. That okay with you?"

"Yep."

"Great! I'll get going." She opened the door to enter inside it.

"I should probably go too." Hitsuei opened the door right next where Himiko went. "A bedroom huh?" In the room there was a bed and a desk. "The mattress seems a little too small for me." Hitsuei went to see the bed and he touched it.
