Kureha was already out on the balcony when I decided to escape from the party for a few minutes of cool autumn air. I almost turned around because I’m horrible at trying to come up with small talk, the reason I needed to hide from the party for a few, but the way she gazed out at the moon hanging over the city made me stay. Girls that beautiful just freak me out. I just can’t seem to hold a normal conversation, so yeah, if I stick to mono-syllabic communications I should be OK and not come off as some freak, but then I just remembered half a second before saying “hey” that my costume for this party was Crazed Sex Maniac PhD from Naughty Nurse Discipline Cream or whatever.

Ryuna asked me why I stayed under the umbrella and I told her I needed to get nice and toasty before going into the water. I figure she knew it was BS, but she didn’t say anything and just lay herself out on the beach blanket. Too bad, as I had half hoped she’d try and drag me to the water.

Ryuna wore this classic white swimsuit outfitted from Max Factory. On the wrong person, a white swimsuit can be tragic, but Ryuna looks good in it and it suits her personality. She’s definitely not the type of anime chic to wear a hot pink bikini. What she’s got now definitely suits her.

After a while the day mellowed out and turned golden. In particular the light under the massive paper umbrella Ryuna and I rested under really made her look beautiful. She was almost as radiant as when Tony draws her. Nobody draws anime girls like Tony.

I flick the desklamps on and wait for the lights to get to temperature. It’s 3am. Everyone else is asleep, not driving cars, not talking on cell phones, not texting. I load Medusa into the CD player and then after some whirring sounds the diva starts singing. My dog carefully watches me fiddle with the lights around a pvc figurine of a video game girl, hoping that an extra part will drop to the ground so she can chew it up. Poor girl. Blanc Neige has no extra parts.

I love doing this when it’s quiet and there’s no one around. The world just feels different somehow.
