[ Any hint of tangy, metallic odor crouches beneath the closeness Nishikiyama provides. Of course, even in its absence, Mine wouldn't know the crime against Matsushige that'd transpired here. The only time he's seen blood in Nishikiyama's office is from that guy cutting off his pinky; it's supposed to be yakuza enough. The suitcase moves in Mine's grip. Fingers loosen, then curl tight again as he adjusts. He's been standing here a while. He can't read Nishikiyama's silence for an response. Is his touch there to soothe?
The kiss isn't as sensual as others between them have been. Mine doesn't close his eyes, he doesn't lean into it as much as their lips meet. He doesn't pull away, either, though. Mine observes the sunlight painting stripes across the opposite wall, blurry through windows smudged with street dust. Their shadow silhouettes cut a hole in it; proportions stretched out. Mine recognizes his is the taller one. With his gaze distant like that, he may only guess that Nishikiyama has withdrawn from the question. He says, as clearly as he will, that he won't give Mine a different answer. So be it, for now— ]
I've got some time to spare.
[ Before his next meeting or before he can convince himself of leaving. With the mirage of Nishikiyama's mouth, and without being haunted by his own neurosis, Mine's schedule has opened back up. ]
