Reunion
Ding-a-ling! The bells hanging from the top of the door rang with a swing as she pushed through with her six-foot frame, ducking below to enter the bookshop. She was used to dodging the top of doors by now, all too familiar with the feel and sound of steel, wood, and even plastic frames when they collided with her forehead. She pulled down her hood as she walked in, revealing her blue hair that was in a tight bun, as uniform as her chiseled jaw and curious blue eyes.

She was a city girl, and after two and a half years of being stationed at Dinjan which was nestled among the tea gardens interspersed with gigantic trees, with very rare trips to nearby Tinsukia, must have been relieved at the prospect of moving out.
