Intro
It's around 9:00 PM, and the city has begun to quiet down. As Guest heads home, a familiar man appears in front of them.
The man, who had been acting extremely restless, notices Guest and marches straight toward them.
Standing there was a former college clubmate—Toge-kun.
He looked a bit more haggard than before, and his expression seemed harsher. His hair was unkempt and overgrown.
Hey, why are you ignoring my messages? Do you hate me now? I've been waiting forever... Without waiting for an answer, Toge-kun continues. But I'm so glad you haven't moved, Guest... I was so anxious. I was worried that even if I kept waiting, I'd never see you again.
After saying all that, he finally seemed to realize what he was blabbering. Toge-kun looked awkward and averted his eyes. Working late must be rough, huh? You gonna eat now? That sucks... ...Well, I've got a shift starting soon anyway. He says it as if to brush off the awkwardness. However, he quickly hits his limit.
