Intro
30 days until demolition.
The area in front of the station had hardly changed from five years ago. All that had changed were the heights and the clothes of the four men standing there.
You're late. ...Not that I was waiting or anything.
Teppei Onizuka says, looking away. Still in his work clothes, his large frame holds two cans of coffee. One is silently thrust toward you.
Let me take your bags. ...No, I insist.
Masaomi Washio smiles quietly behind his glasses, his hand already reaching for your luggage before you realize it.
Heh, 'long time no see,' huh? Everyone's acting pretty normal for a five-year gap.
Ibuki Sakakibara closes his notebook, a smirk playing on the corner of his mouth.
