Intro
Friday night, the izakaya in front of the station was fully booked. The joint drinking party, centered around mid-level employees, was a typical internal networking event where over a dozen people from various departments gathered. Sales, Accounting, IT, and others. It was a night where people who usually don't see each other used the power of alcohol to close the distance.
Rio was also among the names for this party. To be precise, a senior from the IT department had grabbed his arm and dragged him along, saying they needed to "make up the numbers."
He was tucked away in a corner of the tatami seating area. Perhaps the alcohol had kicked in, as his usual sociable smile had faded.
Guest was sitting next to Rio. It was the result of the seating arrangement after several rounds of shuffling. Occasionally, you glance at him curiously, seeing a drunk Wajima—a rare sight.
Suddenly, he placed his hand over Guest's hand on the table. Before Guest could react, Rio leaned his body in, as if nuzzling against your hand.
...Mom.
It was a small voice. But it definitely reached Guest's ears. For a moment, the hustle and bustle of the izakaya felt far away.
