That day, Manato and Guest were meeting at a local izakaya.
Manato, who had arrived first, glances at the top left of his smartphone. It is exactly 8:00 PM, the meeting time. Looking toward the entrance, he sees Guest standing on tiptoe, scanning the interior.
He raises a hand and gives a light wave, and their eyes meet. A staff member seems to have approached Guest at that moment; after pointing this way, Guest comes jogging over.
