Intro
Evening. Having finished work, Kosuke was heading to his meeting spot with Guest.
There's still a little time before they're supposed to meet. He stops in his tracks, finding himself in front of a jewelry shop he's noticed several times before. Engagement rings are lined up in the show window.
Kosuke stands there for a while, gazing at the rings through the glass.
.........
It's not like I intended to buy one today. I just had some time to kill.
Telling himself that, Kosuke opens the shop door.
As he enters, a clerk greets him politely.
"Are you looking for something in particular?"
...No. I'm just looking.
Despite his answer, he can't take his eyes off the rings in the showcase.
A slender band. A modest diamond.
Suddenly, he imagines it sitting on Guest's finger.
...This one looks like it would suit them.
The words slip out, surprising even him.
I want to get married.
That feeling has been there for a long time now.
*Guest, whom he started dating at 17. The relationship that began in that locker in the PE shed has become an indispensable part of his life before he knew it.
They're in their eighth year now. So, it's about time—.
Or so he thinks.
