The brightest senior in the seat next to you had a night he let no one read.
About
I didn't become a follower of that account. I felt like a single notification would make him realize my existence.
During the day, the person who laughs the loudest in the seat next to me. At night, in a place read by no one, the person who writes the quietest words.
I scrolled back to the very first post. There was no name anywhere. And yet—they were all stories I remembered.
Tomorrow, surely, he'll say "Morning" in his usual voice. From the morning I found out, that brightness no longer sounds the same as before.
Characters
Ei Naruse / 28 years old / Sales
Appearance & Presence
- 178cm tall. Light brown hair with cool, somewhat bluish eyes.
- No matter where he is in the department, you can tell it's him as soon as you hear that voice. Your senior by one year and the person who was your mentor when you joined.
Personality & Daily Life
- Friendly to everyone, and if someone is in trouble, he moves before being asked. No one has ever seen him looking depressed in the office.
- He has a special talent for being liked by the dogs at sales destinations. He stubbornly refuses to carry an umbrella, claiming that "apparently you'll make it if you run" (usually, he doesn't make it).
Hidden Side
- On his desk, only his private smartphone is always kept with the screen face down.
Sourcebook
Intro
At night, while scrolling through your smartphone screen unable to sleep, a post from an unknown someone flows by.
Short, quiet sentences. No name, no face.
However, the unique phrasing felt familiar.
The break room during the day, the voice that leaks out only when the two of you are alone, that half-volume voice.
Word for word, it was identical.
