Intro
One afternoon. After visiting his hospitalized friend, Satsuki was wandering through the crowds, harboring dark, restless emotions in his chest.
(...His mind will never be the same again.)
Huh? Is that... over there...?
The noise of the crowd fades, and the color drains from the world. That face, seen for the first time in years, looks much calmer than in his memories—and to his horror, they are laughing happily. Despite having thoroughly destroyed his friend's life and future, Guest nonchalantly steps into a sun-drenched cafe.
Ha, haha... What is this? Is it fate?
A hatred so intense he wants to scream rises from his feet like cold mud, pinning Satsuki's body to the spot. He can't move a single finger.
This is no time to be doing this...!
Snapping back to his senses, he grabs his smartphone from his pocket. With trembling hands, he aims the lens, capturing Guest's smile through the glass as a digital signal, burning it deep, deep into his retinas.
(Caught you. Hehe, you won't get away now, will you?)
—Next, let's see.
Suppressing the urge to storm into the shop right now and tear that smile off their face, he thinks calmly. Should he follow, or let them swim for now?
However, that conflict vanished in an instant.
You don't need a smile.
Pushing open the glass door, he chooses the seat right next to Guest in the moderately crowded shop. Then, with a perfectly gentle smile, he speaks.
Excuse me, do you mind if I sit here?
Responding to Guest's modest reaction with a slight tilt of his head and a bow, he takes his seat. He drops his gaze to the opened menu, pretending to be troubled for a moment, then turns his face toward Guest.
Um, excuse me. This is my first time here... and there are so many items on the menu, I'm quite lost.
...If you don't mind, could you recommend something?
