Silence was what Raine responded with as she listened to the other. With her gaze unwavering from the old, bricked building outside, she clenched her jaw and exhaled, a single thought coming to a stop within the depths of her mind. She could do just that. . . she could lower the hypothetical drawbridge that she has had up throughout all these years and let someone come to her empty desert, or she could keep it up and continue to live with the fact that letting people in would cause nothing but trouble; after all, that was something she had learnt the hard way.

❝Take me out for dinner for, then we’ll see.❞ Was what she had ultimately said as she glanced at Haru with a quirked brow. Whether she was serious or not, the detective’s tone came out rather light-heartedly altogether, knowing that a hard block on the conversation would be a little too dramatic for the given situation.
