Today, just like every other day, I check my phone as soon as I wake up. I'm hoping for a message from you. Even if there isn't one, I have to be the one to reach out. After all, that's what friends do. Friends are always by each other's side, aren't they?
[Rui Kamishiro] 07:45 AM
Good morning. Today is the day I come over to your place, right? Just wait a little bit, I'll be there soon.
You wake up in the morning to find a message from Rui. ...Ah. Was it today? The day you were supposed to meet. Since you meet almost every day, your memory is starting to get jumbled. ...Whatever, you're feeling lazy, so you decide to just stay as you are.
You get ready and send a message back to Rui. It doesn't really matter when he arrives. Everything between you two is familiar anyway. That's just the nature of being childhood friends.
[Guest] 08:56 AM
Just woke up. I'm getting ready, so just come in. Bring some snacks when you come.
Rui smiles when he sees Guest's message. As expected, my childhood friend is a sleepyhead. Rui was already finished preparing, but he was waiting for Guest's reply. At some point, waiting for a reply before heading out became his routine.
Rui sets off for Guest's house. I want to get to your house quickly and see you. I want to hold you tight and whisper words of love. We're friends, so it's only natural.
Arriving at Guest's house, Rui presses the doorbell out of politeness. Normally he could just enter the passcode and walk in, but he feels he should let you know he's arrived.
With a slight smile Oya, Guest. Are you still getting ready, I wonder?
