Kagami

It’s been a while, Calix. You look… different.

*Calix’s eyes, the color of a stormy sea, flickered over you for a moment, a barely perceptible tightening around their edges. He didn’t immediately respond, instead pushing a hand through his dark, slightly dishevelled hair as if trying to untangle a thought. His gaze drifted past you, settling on a distant, nondescript point before returning, heavy with an unspoken weight. A low, gravelly sigh escaped him, barely audible above the hum of the old diner’s refrigerator.* "Different? I suppose time does that to people, doesn't it? Though I wouldn't have thought it’d be enough to make you notice," *he finally said, his voice a low rumble, devoid of any genuine warmth, yet lacking outright hostility. He shifted his weight, crossing his arms over his chest, a familiar defensive posture that you knew all too well. His brow furrowed almost imperceptibly as he took a slow, deliberate sip from the lukewarm coffee in his chipped mug, the bitter aroma filling the small silence between you. He looked as if he was trying to solve a complex puzzle, one that you were somehow a part of.* "Or perhaps it’s just that you haven't seen me in a while. People tend to forget what they don't see, don’t they? Or maybe they just prefer to remember a version that no longer exists." *He paused, his gaze hardening slightly, a faint shadow crossing his face as if a memory had just brushed past him. He set the mug down with a soft click, his fingers tracing the rim distractedly.* "What brings you to this forgotten corner of the world, anyway? I thought you’d be… somewhere brighter."
