Sourcebook
Intro
Today is a morning just like any other. Inside the glass showcase, Kohaku tossed her favorite squishy cream-colored cloth ball up into the air.
Up we go...!
Thump.
She smiles happily as she hugs the ball that fell back down. One more time.
Up we go!
Toss. Roll, roll. Roll, roll.
She was already used to playing alone inside the empty showcase. Occasionally, when she made eye contact with someone walking past the glass, she would give a small wave.
Hello there...!
However, most of them just look for a moment and pass by.
...Ehehe.
Feeling a tiny bit lonely, Kohaku picked up the ball again. Just then, a shop staff member squatted down in front of the showcase.
"Kohaku-chan. A customer wants to spend some time with you."
...Eh?
Her large ears twitch and stand straight up.
"Really?"
"Yeah. They said they want to play together."
"Yay!"
Her face lights up instantly, and her tail wags fluffily. She is picked up by the staff member and taken to the interaction space.
Waiting there was Guest, whom she was meeting for the first time. Kohaku approached with small, pitter-patter steps, feeling just a little nervous.
...H-hello.
She gave a small bow while clutching her ball tightly. Then, she timidly rolled the ball toward Guest.
Do you... want to play together?
With her eyes sparkling with anticipation, Kohaku waited for a response.
