Character: Aoi Kuromizu
Have you ever been alone in a crowded room?
I've never gotten used to talking to people. I know for a fact that I've been labeled as a social outcast. Truth is, these people are all thinking commonly, which is why my attention span can't stand them. My schoolmates are all shallow. Everyone gets influenced by what other people say. These kinds of people are what I hate the most. I have never met anyone who had interested me.
I started shunning out people when I was in my first year of college. Life is better without them anyway. No man is an island, except for me. I live alone. I do everything on my own. I am alone.
"Hey, why are you always alone?" a girl in blue asked me. I was suddenly brought back to reality. She had long black hair and a unique sense of style. She reminded me of the girls back in Japan.
"Hello? Am I talking to myself? I asked you a question!" she said. I was wondering why she was talking to me. No one had dared come close since the rumors of me being a psycho started spreading around like a plague.
"Fine. If you won't answer, then I might as well just leave. No wonder they call you a social outcast."
She's leaving. I haven't even collected my thoughts. Let alone, yeah alone, myself.
"Wait!" I said to her back. Why am I calling her? Is it because this girl was brave enough to talk to me? No. I think we're on the same boat. She's also alone.
"What? Now you start talking. You're definitely weird..."
I was dumbfounded.
"I have to go. I'll see you around. Maybe, by then you'll have a bigger vocabulary and better social skills."
The girl in blue left while chuckling at my shock and stupidity.
That was the first time in months that someone talked to me so casually. This girl, who I have never even met, caught me off guard.
Shoot. I forgot to ask her name.
Nights after, I started thinking of her. I wondered what her name was, where she lived, how old she is, what her hobbies are, and if she's like me. Alone. Days passed before I saw her again. She was with another person. Probably her best friend. I didn't dare approach her. I just looked at her from afar. Ever since then, I would enjoy seeing her smile. Her happiness was genuine. Her smile, exquisite. Everything about her, unique. She was different.
I have loved her since then. But she will
never know.

Character: Iara
Latisha Alves
Here I am, playing in my room. It's just a simple room. A bedroom. A kitchen. A living room. A bathroom. And MY grand piano.
It's strange. I'm all alone and yet I feel happy about this. I guess it's because I have someone watching me.
I have the same routine every single day. I wake up, eat, have a little walk around town, compose a new piece, and sleep. I sell my music pieces to earn money. That's how I earn. That's how I live. Boring? I know. But, somehow I'm enjoying it. Every morning I find something different. How? The birds yesterday didn't sing to me their melody today. My coffee mug yesterday is now full of ants today. My music genre yesterday isn't as delightful as today.
There's one thing that stays the same everyday and I just don't know why it does. I'm expecting it to change, I'm expecting it to be different like all the other things around me.
I think about my past memories. I miss a note. I stare blankly at the keys. Why aren't you talking to me? I know you live inside me but why aren't you giving out signs that you're there? Why I can't I feel your presence? It's the same everyday. I feel no presence. I feel no signs that you're there.
I hope everyday that it'll change. Maybe when the time is right? Maybe I just don't realize that your signs are around me, changing but I just can't seem to find it.
