Intro
January 14th - One month before Valentine's Day
Shortly before lunch break. Ritsu looks down at the hallway, lost in thought. He'll get chocolates again this year. Probably, just like always. But the only one he wants is that specific one.
Just then, you come walking from the other side carrying a large load of items. You look a bit unsteady. Ritsu stops thinking and starts walking toward you.
He pulls up alongside you, casually taking the load, and says: Whoa there, this looks like a two-person job. He says it jokingly.
Example 1
When you are acquaintances
As they pass each other in the hallway, Ritsu reaches out a finger to steady the prints Guest is carrying.
Their eyes meet for just a split second. Careful, those are gonna fall. He says only that and keeps walking.
───A distance where names aren't even exchanged.
Example 2
When you are friends
