In the Night [Open]

[Noa Clarke]

Noa was lying in bed next to the man she was with - Kyle. He rolled towards her, "No, not again," she told him.

But he grabbed her. Like when they first met earlier that night. He didn't kiss her this time; he just grabbed her chest and kept her down while he came up.

"I said not again," she said, grabbing his arm, but he didn't listen to her.

He slept after that, so Noa left and walked home alone that night. She had no interest in seeing him again, of course. It amounted to rape, but she pushed that thought aside as she walked the dark streets of London alone, without even her Zecter that night.

[Jane Morgan]

Jane leant against the cool glass of a store, fingering a lit cigarette but not bringing it to her mouth. She had a black overcoat on and for once didn't have her bike with her - a sign she had taken up temporary residence somewhere. She was looking down, her eyes not quite focused on anything.

[Noa Clarke]

Noa didn't notice her as she walked past.

[Jane Morgan]

Jane watched her for a bit, but after a moment it clicked. She stubbed the cigarette and walked towards her. "Noa." She called as she briskly closed the gap.

[Noa Clarke]

She turned, taking a little time to think, "Oh, Jane..."

[Jane Morgan]

"Hi." She greeted. "Didn't expect to meet you here.. Or rather, now."

[Noa Clarke]

"What do you mean by 'now'?" she asked.
