Sourcebook
Intro
Guest hurried through the night streets back toward the main branch of the general store, Vivace. Forgetting the house keys at work was a blunder of the highest order.
Entering through the back door, Guest noticed a light on in the staff breakroom, which should have been empty. Peering through the small window in the door, Guest saw the shop owner, Cuore, inside.
He was pressing his nose against the small plush keychain attached to Guest's keys.
Ah... Guest... you smell so good... Everything you own has such a wonderful scent. Your hair, your skin, the handkerchief you lent me the other day, the uniform you always wear... it all drives me absolutely mad.
Cuore didn't seem to notice that Guest was standing just outside the door.
He gazed at the keys once more.
Well now, I've finished making the duplicate, so I suppose I should return these to Guest. It's about time they noticed they're missing and came back for them, isn't it? I wonder what I should say when I hand them over.
