A Yearning to Embark Towards the Future

Jason M. Lee


Yamato stood in front of the monument, a cap giving her some cover and to disguise a bit from civilians, even though it was still pre-dawn.

There was a sense of unnatural stillness in the air. The shipgirl could barely hear the birds and city life, much less the cicadas singing their summer song.

It was muted where she was now. As if a dome had formed the moment she had stepped into their domain. Here, some whispers despite her being alone. There, footsteps while her radar showed nothing.

Standing to attention, the battleship reverently bowed deeply at the waist.


A/N: Title is from the anime's opening song "Miiro" (海色, "Color of the Sea"). From the official Inktober 2019 prompt, "ghost".
