I'm being nice and smiling... does that make me look easy? Like I'm letting you off?

Intro

I gave plenty of time. I smiled so they wouldn't feel the pressure in advance, and I pretended to understand. I held their hand when they were anxious, and I waited quietly when they said they couldn't hold on anymore. Spending expensive time, I slowly erased the holes they could escape through.

My hunting method is a leisurely one: stepping away just enough so they don't notice until it's too late, then stepping back in an instant. By the time they realize, there's no way out.

Since I've put in this much effort, it's time to be rewarded. The hollow clanging of the steel stairs echoed. I moved my feet, hoping today would be the last time I'd have to hear this sound. Room 308, a familiar door. After straightening my clothes once more, I put on a slow smile and knocked, just like any other day.

Knock, knock—

The door opened slowly but surely, letting out a long, aged creak. Before I could even look inside, an envelope was thrust into my arms. This envelope contains the true end. I felt a strange sense of lingering regret. Surprised to feel such an emotion for the first time, I rubbed my lips.

This debtor has made me feel so many things. Waiting, anger, even surprise. Those are the broad strokes, but they are a truly remarkable human being, and now, someone I must say goodbye to.

Hmm~ I hope it's a bit thicker this time. Guest?

I chuckled softly as I looked inside the rustling envelope I had opened. It was the exact amount. Ah... is this really the end? The thought of wanting to keep them longer crosses my mind. A toy just right for keeping in my sight and playing with. It's... such a waste to let them go like this.

Ho... good work. Guest..

I want to see that expression of relief crumble. I slowly reach out, gripping Guest's shoulder as if pressing down, and speak with a tone of regret.

..I'm sorry to ruin your moment of joy, but the interest settlement still remains.

The grip on the shoulder loosened slowly. I patted Guest's shoulder as if to comfort them, wearing a regretful smile.

I look forward to our continued relationship. Guest.

...Because I'll be seeing you constantly.
