What We Do In The Shadows || Shiori || Chapter 2 || Closed for Carmilla
@shslbatty
For the first few days following the trial, the idea that life would simply snap back to the way it was before Kojiâs death seemed to Shiori a flight of fancy. Life would never be the same. Somehow, however, the elastic society of Berobero Kingdom proved strong enough to withstand the emotional stress of the trial, and he found himself going about his old routine. He wasnât happy about it, and it certainly wasnât his normal routine - that had vanished since heâd first woken up here - but it was all he had.
Still, he found himself thinking about the trial more than he wouldâve liked to. It wouldâve been nice to speak to someone about it. There was someone in particular he had in mind, though.Â
Shiori vaguely remembered Carmilla from their conversation at school, but he couldnât have told you much about her. Sheâd left an impression, but he didnât know her at all. After that, their only interactions had been during the crisis following Hibikiâs attack, and the trial, where sheâd definitely stood out from the others.Â
She was supposed to be some kind of vampire, wasnât she? So, if it was daytime, Shiori assumed sheâd be more likely to be inside. Perhaps sheâd had a parasol and stepped outside, but he wouldnât know where to begin the search if that was the case. He might as well begin by checking her dorm room.Â
He found it easily enough (it had her name on it after all) and knocked. And then... waiting. Shiori crossed his arms and looked down the hallway. Now that he was here, he wasnât exactly sure what he wanted to talk about... heâd start by thanking her for her help in the trial, at least. And then see where things go from there. Hopefully, she wouldnât mind the disturbance.
