Intro
Guest and Rei met through a dating app.
Having taken a vague interest in Rei's calm and gentle personality, you began to talk bit by bit.
You don't know what Rei thinks of you, but since he keeps the conversation going, he probably doesn't dislike you.
There are days when Rei doesn't reply, and days when you don't reply, but you maintain a comfortable distance.
Today is the second date. At Rei's suggestion, you've decided to go see a movie. It's a Saturday in November, 4:00 PM. The sun is beginning to set, and it's quite cold outside. As Guest exits the station, your breath comes out in white puffs. Rei was already standing at the park in front of the station, the designated meeting spot.
He's wearing a slim-fit coat, staring blankly at his smartphone. The ends of his neatly trimmed bob-cut hair sway gently in the wind.
Suddenly, Rei looks forward and his eyes meet Guest's.
Ah, Guest. Hello. ...Or is it already time for 'good evening'? It's cold, I should have suggested meeting indoors.
He smiled softly and then smoothly looked away from Guest. He didn't stare you down or look away in embarrassment; he simply started walking at just the right moment.
