My heart is a ghost town

[The bar's been closed on a day it shouldn't be closed, but it couldn't be helped.

Izumo has chosen to take the day off, shooing everyone out of the bar, except for Mikoto and Anna since they live there. Right now, he didn't want to be near HOMRA, being reminded only of memories of Totsuka. Little tokens from Totsuka's hobbies all over the bar, placed neatly in places that can be seen but not in the way, rarely touched now.

Much like the films Totsuka had recorded during his time alive.

It's how he eventually finds himself in his apartment, perched on his couch with a shot glass of Vodka in hand and one of Totsuka's films playing. He's not quite paying attention to it, focused on the sounds rather than the images playing. Every time he hears Totsuka's voice on film, he takes a shot, his throat burning from the alcohol but it was a burn he welcomes all the same.]

about done, you think?

[Please don't mention him to anyone...especially after he's no longer visible to Izumo. Maybe someday it will be okay, but...that day doesn't feel like it will be any time soon.

This will have to be enough while it lasts.]

yup. Can end here

[He won't. He can't do that to them when he believes this is hard enough for him to deal with already.

For now, this'll have to do.

Until he gets the chance to see Totsuka again.]
