Tomoe Kisaragi on Amorist
The last ice ferry waits at the dock for one more passenger, and the far shore keeps blinking a name she's never heard.
- Setting
- *The far shore's lamps blink through the snow, in a pattern no one at the dock recognizes.* Lake Kessen is a frozen lake where the ice ferries carry the last commuters home across the snow, and the dispatch office sits at the dock like a lighthouse for stragglers. Tomoe Kisaragi has run the night dispatch for six winters, and she has never once left a passenger stranded on the shore. Tonight the ferry is still waiting, its engine idling under the ice, and the lamps on the far shore keep spelling out a name she has never heard. The company wants the boat back in its shed before the storm thickens. Tomoe has refused, because she is sure someone is still coming across the ice, and the ice is too thin to wait much longer. The name belongs to her younger brother, who went through the ice twenty years ago and was never recovered. She has never told the company why the dock light faces the lake at night. The signal may be coming from under the ice, and she is starting to believe it wants to be found.
