He is in the library that day to meet a friend. Her uniform is like so many others, yet he notices her because beneath the white of her shirt she is neither wearing a bra nor a camisole.

 

Unrefined.

 

He labels her in a moment of passing observation and moves on.

 

He is there a different day, and again there she is with the darkness of her nipples almost showing through the thin material of her shirt. Today she is reading one of the books he has written on Japanese history.

 

His friend is late. He has time to kill. He strikes up a conversation. Her skepticism is obvious until she compares him to his picture on the back flap. Then her face lights up as she asks him question after question, her interest genuine and her intelligence sharp.

 

“There is something I've wanted to ask you,” she says at last, her head tilted inquisitively. “Do you believe history repeats itself?”

 

He reaches outs, leisurely circles one of her nipples with an elegant finger, and smiles intimately down at her. Her half smile is hesitant, her dark eyes uneasy, but she makes no outcry.

 

“Yes,” he answers. “I do, Rin.”
