Because of the new year popping up around the world, Reina didn’t see Aiko again for over a week. They did talk on the phone a couple times, but Aiko’s end was so coded due to having her mother hover around; it both annoyed and washed right over Reina, who would have cared more if she were the type of person to get hung up over somebody else.

Thanks to those same holidays, however, she had time off work. The double-edged sword appeared when she had nothing else to do, since her home life was a bust, her friends were busy with their families, and the usual hang out spots were closed. Reina holed herself up in her room while her mother attempted to clean for the new year.

Left with nothing but her stereo, some old comic books, and a desk to keep her occupied, Reina put on a CD and attempted to read a naughty novel under her futon covers. That ended quickly, since she didn’t get anything useful from sexy materials. So she sat at her desk and looked through her New Year’s postcards from distant relatives and closer friends. On top was Michiko’s, written with a foreigner’s hand; on the bottom was Aiko’s, written in calligraphy.

She would be traditional like that. Reina flipped the card over and studied Aiko’s brush strokes. The characters spelled out, “Happiness to You on The Dawn of a New Year,” and below the final loop was a smaller message: “I hope the new year brings you many more meetings.” Aiko had signed her name in bold, red ink with a heart on the end. The characters making up her name, “Love” and “Child,” made Reina think she was dating a ten-year-old. She looked at her own name on the card and realized it was written in the phonetic alphabet.

She doesn’t know the characters for my name. For the best. Reina’s characters weren’t usual, so seeing her name written phonetically was better than seeing it written with the incorrect kanji. Yet it reminded her that she and Aiko still knew so little about each other.

Then again, Reina hadn’t sent New Year’s postcards to anyone.

No point keeping cards cluttering her desk – Reina opened a drawer to shove the cards into and got another unhelpful reminder. Glaring back at her was her unfinished letter to Michiko, attempting to explain the feelings even Reina herself couldn’t understand. She pulled it out and dissected the words, her hand reaching out to grab the nearest pencil.
