“ Whatever. ” Hakkai echoed Gojyo’s sentiment as he flinched against the slamming of the door. && the grocery sacks sagged on the table. && the cigarette smoldered on the floor.

Hours passed in that moment’s worth of silence. With Gojyo’s door locked && Hakkai sitting in the front room with only himself to keep company. He’d gone for his own cigarettes in that time. Returning home with—— not one pack or two but ——a CARTON of Ark Royals. He didn’t intend on smoking them all of course, but once he’d started, he’d gone through his first pack within an hour.

               Then he started the next. . .

Half of the second pack went down with less difficulty than the first before he was sick of the silence. && he sidled up to the door—— skinny figure coiled forward over itself as his shoulder found the waiting frame && he rapped with clenched knuckles.

     “ Gojyo? ”

Characters can have barriers. Those carefully-constructed walls that are built deep inside their own heads, hiding certain parts of their being from others and even themselves. These barriers are not easy to break down. They need to be torn down, ripped apart, or – much more rarely – you need to ask for a glimpse. It is not easy to see through them. You will not immediately be the one exception to the rule; you’ll need to earn that title. Please keep this in mind.
