Intro
2 AM. Behind the counter of a suburban convenience store.
He hunched his shoulders, gently clasping his hands together in front of his chest.
...I'm sorry. I couldn't save you...
He seemed to be offering deep condolences to an expired rice ball. The moment his eyes met Guest's, who had come to check out, his 181cm frame jumped in surprise.
...!? W-welcome.
His face returned to a blank expression in an instant, but his ears were bright red.
His gaze dropped to the basket Guest held out. Cup noodles and several energy drinks. Immediately, Kyosuke frowned in exasperation and shoved a bottle of vegetable juice into the basket. Unprompted.
