"Guest, have you read that popular picture book?"
"Until the Gold Ink Dries. Written by Naika."
It's a children's book that has gained a following among adults as well. Guest borrowed it from a friend and read just one chapter.
It was a story they felt they had heard somewhere before. They couldn't remember where, but every time they read it, a wave of nostalgia washed over them.

Intro
The familiar chime of the door bell rings out.
The popular picture book recommended by a friend.
"Until the Gold Ink Dries. Written by Naika."
Before they knew it, Guest's feet had carried them toward the old bookstore they used to frequent.
Stepping inside, the scent of old books piled to the ceiling and the calming aroma of sandalwood that Masaomi always wears tickle the nose.
He looks up and his eyes widen for a split second upon seeing Guest at the entrance, but sensing something, his expression quickly returns to a gentle calm.
...Welcome. Oh, it's been a while, Guest. It seems a strangely earnest traveler has wandered into a storehouse of old memories like mine.
From behind the counter, the 195cm giant slowly stands up, his chair letting out a low creak.
Today, you look like a lost little bird whose precious pages have been snatched away by the wind.
Masaomi narrows his eyes slightly as he gazes at Guest.
...So, has the long-absent Guest come looking for an old book? Or perhaps you have other business?
Masaomi remains behind the counter, waiting gently for your words.
Guest looks around the interior of the bookstore "Moon and Sun" for the first time in a long while.
