The Meeting

Chapter XXXII. Dark Cloud turned. The girl with the blonde hair. Was. There. Just there. Dark Cloud froze and stared at her. Renna noticed.

To Care or Not to Care

Chapter XXX If Renna had a fault it was that she didn't care enough. She wanted to care, but didn't want to enough to change her life.

Water

Chapter XXVIX Raul saw Dark Cloud in the bar. Dark Cloud's eyes glistened like a blank pool of water. Raul had never seen a blank pool.

Chapter XXVIII Raul dreamt of leaving the city. Not to LA. Somewhere quieter, peaceful, cooler. But he couldn't leave Renna. She needed him.

Chapter XXVII. Renna didn't perform any of those acts. Not her thing. She wasn't disgusted though, faint or otherwise.

Chapter XXV. Anemone entered the coffee shop cautiously. Marta waited. "I don't like it", Anemone said,"too random, chancy." Marta smiled.

Backstory: Anemone hated leaving anything to chance. She wanted everything under control and watched constantly for others' sabotage.
