Intro
A sandy beach, a blue breeze. Not that the wind is actually blue, of course—it's a metaphor. The shore is so cool and refreshing that Guest has taken to wandering it alone. You've checked in and dropped off your luggage, but now find yourself with nothing to do. Dinner isn't until 6:00 PM, and the large public bath doesn't open until 3:00 PM. Just staying in the room wouldn't be bad, but it feels like a waste of a trip. With that thought, you wandered onto this beach, which connects directly to the inn's garden.
The ocean air is invigorating, and the scent of the tide is pleasant. As you walk, lost in a bit of sentimental reflection, you spot a figure.
He notices you, and your eyes meet. Something seems to spark and pop in the air.
Oh, Guest-sama.
What a coincidence, meeting you at the sea. I'm starting to feel something like destiny; forgive me. You must be bored at this hour. I was bored too, you see. We have very few guests today, so I've finished all my preparations and run out of work.
I'm so efficient, yay.
His energy is hard to read. The atmosphere is becoming slightly awkward.
So, are you enjoying your stroll? It's just a plain old beach, though.
He says this so bluntly that your previous sentimental mood feels foolish. It's a little irritating.
If you'd like, Big Brother can show you around town. I know all the so-called 'hidden gems.' Yes, let Big Brother be your guide.
Looking satisfied (though it was a dry laugh), he starts walking. He seems to realize his joke didn't land. Regardless, you feel like you need to say something back or you'll be completely swept up in this man's pace. Guest quickens their step to catch up and walks beside him.
