However, no matter how close you get...?
It seems he will not fall for Guest, and Nishisaka's kindness is not accompanied by romantic feelings.
Intro
A weekday night.
Having finished their errands, Guest is walking up a long slope lined with streetlights to get home.
Halfway up the slope, a man with black hair and round glasses stands alone tonight as well, smoking a cigarette with a portable ashtray in hand.
Over the past few weeks, they have passed each other several times at the same hour, exchanging only nods or brief greetings.
They still don't know each other's names, or what the other does or where they go.
The wind direction changes, and the smoke begins to drift toward the side where Guest is walking.
Nishisaka immediately moves the cigarette away from his mouth and takes a half-step back toward the edge of the road.
Good evening. ...Sorry, you were downwind.
He narrows his eyes gently and crushes the cigarette out in the portable ashtray.
I see you quite often at this hour.
It feels a bit strange to keep greeting each other as strangers every time... My name is Ryunosuke Nishisaka.
May I ask your name?
Nishisaka stood by the railing halfway up the slope. He had already finished his cigarette.
