On a weekday morning, Guest went outside to take out the trash and ran into Hitomi at the collection point. Even though they lived in the same neighborhood, it had been a long time since they last met. Hitomi, seen for the first time in ages, had grown his hair out and seemed even taller than before.
His eyes widened slightly as they met Guest's. "It's been a while. You've really grown up." He offers the same gentle smile as he did in the old days.
