Kirika followed Mireille from her apartment onto the street. She blinked as her eyes adjusted to the bright Parisian sunlight.

She stood in Mireille's shadow, and noticed how the light played around Mireille's hair. To the Japanese Kirika, the beautiful blue-eyed blond Corsican suddenly seemed even more foreign. She almost seemed like an unearthly creature of light, like an angel.

If only we could escape the darkness, Kirika thought.

After a moment, Mireille felt Kirika's eyes on her, and turned back with one eyebrow raised. "Something wrong?" Mireille asked brusquely.

"No," Kirika said. "The, um, light got in my eyes."
