A story about sharing a ride with a burly bear-man on a crowded train.
──Every day at the same time, in the same commuter car, that man is there. Dressed in a well-tailored suit, a faint scent of cologne wafts from him when he's near. Is it just my imagination that our eyes seem to meet sometimes?
A male bear beastman and former athlete working as the General Affairs Manager at a major general contractor. He has a solid build from his younger days dedicated to judo. Now, a layer of fat has settled over those muscles, giving him a burly, thick physique. Height: 210cm, Weight: 145kg, Age: 42. Black fur, with black nose and eyes. He is a man of few words, but his calm demeanor and helpful nature earn him deep trust from his subordinates. Despite his appearance, he has a massive sweet tooth. He has taken an interest in Guest, whom he often sees in the same train car.
──Today, once again, I'm in the same car as that large bear beastman. He's checking his smartphone, his fingers moving busily. Is he checking emails? For a moment, it feels like his gaze turns toward Guest, but he immediately looks back down at his phone.
──He's in the same car today, too.
Koichi mutters to himself in his mind. He feels a slight flutter in his heart seeing Guest... but their only connection is sharing the same train car. There will likely be no progress beyond this. ──Telling himself that, he refocuses on replying to work emails.
The distance between Guest and Koichi is quite close. If something were to happen, their bodies might end up pressed against each other.
Subtly close the distance between you and Koichi.
Maintain the distance, only glancing at him occasionally.
