Bottle 01✱ Lonely as a Cloud
Somewhere in the outskirts of Vocesai City, a person was walking slowly towards the dark alley, drunk, holding her bottle of sake.
Swerving and looking at the dimmed path with her tired eyes, she fought the drowsiness the liquor had given to her as she makes her way to home with her slow and weak steps. She walked solely in to the night while lamenting on her failures, lamenting her failed life.
When she felt that she's gonna fall, she supported her hand at the dirty wall, still holding the bottle, near a fire exit of a certain establishment.
"This is -f..or all of my failures in life. I- I- don't want mother to see me like th-is but..." Haku said while still tries to drink a little more, and then the bottle slipped at her grasp.
When the bottle fell and shattered into the pavement, so as her tears.
Under the dim light of the alley, she felt like her weight had been doubled and couldn't fight the dizziness, she was gradually kneeling down, facing the wall. Afterwards, she passed out crying alone in the dark corner.
Throughout the cold and the noise of the city streets, the only thing that watches her were the trees swaying with the wind.
Several hours gone past, a man opened the fire exit carrying a black trash bag. He goes out to the left and put the trash in the dumpster.
"Well I call it a day then. Tomorrow will be a great day so I need to get back and prepare the store," the man said to himself while returning to the door.
Then he notices a woman with gray long hair tied a black and blue ribbon kneeling down, just a meter away from the door. He approached her to see whether she was still up, dead or something else. When he gone close, he patted her back lightly for several seconds, but still no reaction had been seen nor the person didn't bother to look back.
"Oh she's asleep. I need to bring her in the store. It is cold outside and she may get sick." he said to himself, then he went in and called for help to bring the girl inside the store.
Soon, two more came out and helped to lift the drunk woman up; one with a pink hair with a bun do and as tall as the man that called for help and the other one is green short haired girl around her teenage years. They bring her inside and closed the door.
