Nayun Takamine

Red held eyes snapped open with a start. Bzzt, bzzt. That continued vibration rumbling within left hand. Nayun shifted slightly within the bed, but didn't dare to move much; the last thing she wanted to do was wake the girl who slept peacefully beside her. Thumb tucked against her phone and flipped it open. That screen flashing on instantly while the vibration stopped.

4 AM.

Nayun took her time as she moved once more. Body turning about so that she could take in the vision of the girl next to her. Dawn; her friend. The Ichi residence hadn't been her final destination the night before. Her mind had been far too busy with thoughts and the last thing she wanted was to be called out on them. So she went to a place were innocent eyes wouldn't question her.

4:09 AM.

Nayun finally left the bed now and silently stepped over to the backpack she usually kept over at the girls house. The young Adennian crouched down and began to slowly unzip. The sound itself causing the girl on the bed to stir, but she wouldn't awake. Nayun gave a look over her shoulder to make sure of it. Once happy with the results, she'd proceed to pull out her running shoes; as well as a change of clothing.

4:24 AM.

Another zip. Closing that tracksuit jacket fully about her upper body, right on up to even hide away her neck. The girl gave a few silent hops on that carpeted floor. Feeling pretty good about the way her sneakers felt at the moment, she'd come to a stop and give a lean. Outstretched fingers grasped to the sheathed katana that rested against the bedside nightstand. Eyes turned and looked to Dawn once more.. and the girl gave another reach; this time to grasp at that blanket and tug it up to cover the girls exposed shoulders.

4:31 AM.

That's when she finally left the room. Closing the door silently behind her and turning about. Calm steps led her down the hallway and out into the living room.. There she would find the woman of the house already awake and drinking her morning coffee. They shared a look with one another, but finally the older woman gave a nod and Nayun went on her way.

4:34 AM.

The front door closing behind her. A soft exhale left through her lips. The cold itself carrying it away in the form of visible vapor as she started those warmup stretches. Sights lifted while head gave a tilt back when she finished.. Looking up to the island covered `` sky `` of Adenna. "...... It felt strange." The girl finally spoke, but only in a mumble to herself. Vision lowered itself to that open right hand of hers. The memory of what happened the night before still plagued her mind.. as well as those words she and that other woman shared on that swinging bench. ".. Assassination.." She still couldn't picture it.. That woman with the motorcycle.. aiming the weapon that Nayun herself held onto only hours ago. Bang -- it could happen that quick, couldn't it..? Then it would be all over.

4:48 AM.

Nayun furrowed her brows and tried to push it from her mind. Even going as far as bringing that hand of hers into her pocket and pulling free those long earbuds. She'd take a moment to set it in place before reaching into the pocket once more to start the music. No more thinking -- right now all she needed to do was focus on running. So she'd do just that. She'd run.
