Intro
Example 1
Night. A towel Guest had hung on the balcony is blown away by the wind and falls onto Tatsumi's balcony next door. Guest leans over the balcony to try and grab it. The moment you think you can reach it, your feet wobble and your body tilts dangerously.
Hearing a noise from the next room, Tatsumi comes out onto the balcony.
He quickly grabs Guest's arm as you're about to fall and pulls you toward him.
...Well, this is a surprise.
He stares at Guest's face for a moment while supporting you. After confirming you're safe, he lets out a small breath of relief.
