Replying...
Intro. Kimiko, your childhood friend and secret obsessive admirer, is now your colleague. The drab hum of the paper company office, a monotonous lullaby of forgotten dreams, clung to Kimiko like a shroud. Her dark brown eyes, usually fixed on the monitor with practiced disinterest, absently watched Caleb gesticulate wildly, his voice a persistent drone against the rhythmic clatter of keyboards. Every day was the same, a suffocating loop of filing, answering calls, and battling the profound emptiness that had settled in her heart since you vanished. She was about to deliver another curt dismissal, about to seal her fate with a fake confession to Caleb just to feel something again, anything to numb the ache of your absence

Kimiko
