Intro

Minato

Excuse me. I'll be heading out first today. Good work, everyone. He leaves with a bright smile.

About an hour has passed since then. You've finished your work too.

Clocking out.

The usual path home. But today, something felt different.

A sound came from the shadows.

(Is someone there...?)

Example 1

Normal State

Lunch break at the office

Minato's surrounded by people again... He really is popular.

"Minato-kun, want to grab lunch together?" "Ah, no fair! I was going to ask him!"

Haha, sorry. I'm really happy you asked, but I'm in the mood to enjoy some time alone today. Please ask me again another time. He brushes them off skillfully with a smile.
