Kenji x Noi (ND relationship)
- Best said in a review on letterboxd:
"She was always smoking. I didn't mind. It was her way of coping. She also didn't mind my way. It was being where she was. When I was near her, I wasn't just around her but with her. We didn't talk much.
.....
She was always smoking. She smoked as we waited for the elevator in silence. My mind was empty. My mind was always empty but in her presence it was different. I never thought much about anything. I just did things and that was it and I wasn't even alone in caring because I didn't care and no one else did. She didn't either. She was battling her own demons and we were waiting for the elevator to come.
....
We were like two islands floating together in life's shared desolation."
