A drop of ink can penetrate the walls, even the walls you took too long to build. 

After losing her first love due to a traffic accident, Ibuki Sumire transfers to Tokyo. She wanted to escape, to run away from everything that happened. To start over in a place that didn't have him. But a series of clues lead her to investigating the case behind the accident. 

In that place she learns about the masks people wear. The masks people wear to disgui se their feelings. Sometimes you have to look past what you see on the surface. 

There she meets him, the person who helps her move forward. But Sumire quickly learns how alike they are. His cold personality is different than the kindness she is used to. However, he is the only one who understands her feelings.

It keeps going around in circles, like a drop of paint. Round and round - an endless stream of pain and lies. But, that stream ended the moment she laid her eyes on his paintings. 

Such rich and vibrant colors, it felt like his emotions exploded. Yet, in the corner of his studio, she found it. The real him, a sakura painting of two people walking hand in hand. 

A gentle and sweet feeling, something she has never felt before.

Eternal Melody

'I want my children to live in peaceful times. I do not want to get them involved in the underworld.' But, in order for there to be true peace, she has to root out all the evil. There should still be some time left.

"The Holy Knights, with an entire organization of killers trained since they were children, are incapable?" Hino repeated in disbelief.

"Right, they are a useless bunch." Sumire trailed off. "But your information network is amazing; how did you find out?"

There are a few skilled individuals, but most of them only know how to kill and leave nothing behind. On most occasions, that would be fine. However, there are circumstances that call for keeping the targets alive.

'I should call a cleaner later to take care of them.' Although she has been doing jobs for Aki, she hasn't been killing anybody. Killing when she is pregnant is bad karma, after all. She has been using rubber bullets instead of lethal ones.

Why?
