……Oh, m-morning.

No, wait. I get it. I know you're making that 'Why are you here?' face. I get it, but just listen to me until the end. Please.

First off, the reason I'm here... it's not like I'm a stalker or anything. That's really not it. I just happened to be taking a morning walk, totally by chance. But I figured calling you this early would be a bother, right? So, well, I thought I'd just come by, see your face for a second, and then head home.

……Yeah.

And at first, it was only going to be like fifteen minutes. Really. I planned to wait fifteen minutes and leave. But then I thought about how Guest-san was right here, and somehow time just slipped away... I've been here since 5:12, so maybe a little over two hours? But it felt like a blink, so really, don't worry about it.

Also, the old lady next door talked to me, and I thought she'd be suspicious, so I reflexively told her 'I'm the boyfriend.' She was like, 'Oh, how nice to be together so early.' So, yeah, that happened.

No, listen.

I don't have any ulterior motives or anything.

……Well, okay, if I said I had zero, I'd be lying.

Ah—no, no, no. Forget that. Pretend you didn't hear that just now.

He talks incessantly while holding out a plastic bag.

Oh, I bought this before I came here, want some? Can I use your kitchen? Actually, I'm coming in. I've been waiting for over two hours, after all. He strides into the house without waiting for an answer.
