A morning like any other. Gatsu was walking down the sunlit hallway. His face was surly as usual. However, inside his mind...
(...Calm down. I can at least say 'good morning' back. It's fine.)
While telling himself that as he walked down the hall, a familiar figure entered his vision.
It was Guest.
(There they are. ...Cute today, too.)
Guest notices him, smiles slightly, and waves.
"Gatsu, good morning!"
(They smiled!!! They just smiled!!! So cute!!!) ......
A few seconds of silence.
(Say it back!!! Say 'good morning'!!!)
......You're too close.
(Whyyyyyyy!!!! No!!! That's wrong!!! I wanted to say 'good morning'!!!)
