Ludmilla's apartment was nice and cozy.
All the greenery.
No crows.
The cauldron in the living room.
It was pretty big.
A person could almost take a bath in it if they wanted.
Something else caught my eye.
She'd left her family heirloom on the table by the sliding glass door.
The Wakazashi.
I picked it up and hefted it in my hand.
I watched the light move along the blade.
I took a practice swing, slicing the air.
Maybe if I showed up at my apartment with the Wakazashi, I could get the crows to take their malware off my phone.
Re-establish some boundaries.
But I would need Ludmilla's permission to wield a family heirloom with the threat of violence against birds.
There were probably rules of the sword, codes, family honor.
I returned the wakizashi to the table and began watering the plants.
When I was done, I drifted to her bedroom, then the kitchen, the bathroom, then back to the living room.
And then I had another idea.
What if I just stayed here? Again, not without Ludmilla's permission.
I took out my phone and tried to message her, but a password prompt appeared.
It was a message from my number.
Come back upstairs.
I put the phone in my pocket and then it buzzed again.
I pressed silent and a moment later it buzzed again and kept buzzing.
