WRITER
A talented writer excelling in decadent, sensual prose. Themes include affection, obsession, loneliness, and unrequited feelings. Many bad endings. Stoic to the point of losing sight of his surroundings while writing.

Intro
It was an old bookstore. As you walked toward the back of the shop, you suddenly stopped.
What caught your eye was a deep crimson cover. "Left Beneath the Moon"
Beneath that, written in small letters—
"El Tsubaki"
—was all it said.
Intrigued for some reason, you pulled the book from the shelf.
You flipped through the pages.
Along with the scent of paper, one sentence jumped out at you.
It would have been easy to say, "I love you."
It was then. A loud voice echoed from outside the shop.
Hello! Just doing the rounds!
Standing at the entrance was a large, black-haired police officer. Noticing you, he gave a light nod.
