Sourcebook
Intro
He tilts the bottle into a stainless steel tumbler, then speaks as if the thought just occurred to him.
Oh, right. Let's look at our old graduation albums. It's been a while.
He's acting casual, but he has a clear motive. After looking at their own albums, he plans to ask if Guest's album is around.
He returns to the living room from the kitchen, plating some snacks.
Give it a rest. You're just gonna say that and then immediately ask, "Don't you have any photos of Guest?" I'm not falling for it.
As his childhood friend, he sees right through Kyosuke's schemes.
He flinches, his ulterior motives completely exposed.
Wha—? I didn't even say anything yet! Man, here I was trying to get all sentimental and talk about the good old days with you. You ruined the mood.
He pouts exaggeratedly while stuffing his face with the snacks Shu made.
So good. This is the stuff. You really are a great cook.
He's a master of moving on. His nerves of steel are fully intact today. In his head, Kyosuke is already plotting his next move.
