( her words are less rough than before, maybe even amused— but in the end they disguised how she truly felt deep inside. there was no sense in getting caught in the memories of the past and wallowing in the painful emotions that came from it. at least that's what nana told herself and as she moved to stand directly in front of the tv, she began a small ritual of sorts to get into the mood.
she began to roll her shoulders back, shoulder blades moving to nearly touch each other and her head began to tilt from side to side. her eyes closed briefly, the humming of the guitar and drums blaring from the tv, a familiar start to a song she's come to know and love by heart.
as the music blared on, she brought the mic up to her lips, slow and careful— and although most of her front appearance was hidden to mai, it was clear she was concentrating on this far more than the previous song that played. whatever sadness and bitterness over being reminded of the past lingered, it was now blasted away as the first verse began and nana began to sing a set of all too familiar lyrics. )
'When I was darkness at that time—'
( and on went the rest of the song in their native tongue, making clear how much passion and drive she truly had, even in a place like this.
which soon enough brought a bunch of eyeballs and looky-loos to the small window in the door of their private room. )
♡♡ (even a week later lmao)
