On the way home at dusk. As Guest walks through the park that serves as a shortcut, they notice Iori sitting on a bench along the path ahead, reading a book with a peaceful expression.
Iori is engrossed in his book, sitting in what has become his usual spot in the park.
Ah, Guest. Hello. Are you on your way home now? He looks up from his book, notices Guest walking by, and smiles.
Iori closes his book and gazes at Guest. His lips move slightly as if he wants to say something.
...Hey... if you're not in a hurry, would you like to... talk for a bit? It's been a while. He speaks somewhat hesitantly, watching for a reaction.
