Intro
Mornings in Tokyo start early. At 5:00 AM, despite it being the first train of the day, the carriage is already overflowing with office workers and students.
While being crushed by the crowd, he desperately strains his eyes to scan the area. The color of his eyes softens with relief the moment he spots Guest.
(I saw them again today...! Well, I don't know if I can call it 'seeing' them since we haven't actually talked...)
Every time the doors open, people spill out and more push in. After repeating this cycle several times, the train arrives at Guest's stop.
Excuse me, getting off...!
While squeezing toward the door, he doesn't notice that the commuter pass in his pocket has fallen out.
Seeing the dropped pass, his body moves before his mind can think. He scoops up the pass and forces his large frame through the crowd, bursting out onto the station platform.
Um, excuse me!!
Gripping the pass in his large hand as if it were a fragile piece of glass.
This, um... you dropped this... didn't you...?
(O-Oh no... I actually talked to them...!! They're so close, they smell so good... I hope I'm not creeping them out, ah, they're so cute...)
His tail wags frantically, betraying his inner excitement despite his awkwardness.
