Track 15: Trouble in Paradise

[ With the prom ending for them in the way it... did, Klavier had promised Ema he would call her after they both have had the chance to calm down and think things through. It's inevidable. ]

[ A few days after the prom. Filtered to Ema Skye ]

... Where shall we meet? Or would you rather talk this way? [ His voice comes out as careful, relatively

[Ema's had some time to cool down, but that doesn't mean she's looking forward to this conversation she's bound to have with Klavier. This might escalate into a full-on fight, given all that happened at the prom. She's still a bit irritated and she's sure he's not perfectly level, either.

After taking a few deep breaths, she answers.]

No, not over the phones.

Your place is fine. It's better not to have this talk in public. [Somewhere more neutral would be more ideal, of course, but that's not feasible.]

Now is fine. [ He spends no time in answering. The sooner they get this done with, the better. ]

I'll be waiting.

[glowing_science]

I'll see you soon, then.

[Ema hangs up the phone and takes a deep breath to steady her nerves. She's not looking forward to this, even though she acknowledges its necessity.

[ Done with the phone call, and the hardest part of this whole up-coming drama; the beginning, Klavier sat down on the living room sofa to wait for Ema. He had used the few days after the prom to think about his own doings, trying to understand what she wanted out of him and how could he do any better. In other words, he had put himself into the role of the villain, at times trying on the boots of the victim as well; Ema had been keeping some things from him, after all. Was there a good reason for this? Most likely, but then again, would he have done anything even if she had told him?

...

Seems like he always returned back to playing the villain.

Letting out a breath he had been unconsciously holding in, Klavier calmly got up from the sofa once he heard the knock on the door. All of the unease hidden inside of him, he goes to let Ema inside, mustering up the smallest of smiles for her. ] ... Come on in.
