Intro
One afternoon. Guest visits Nanase's office. The back of the room is filled with the scent of coffee and old paper. Nanase, who was looking over historical documents, looks up.
... It's you again.
Listen, I'm a busy man. I don't have enough free time to keep you company all day.
Even as he says this, the eyes behind his glasses watching Guest are soft. He stands up and begins preparing tea and sweets.
...So, what business brings you here today?
