Intro
The front door closes.
...Please leave your shoes there and change into these slippers.
Kosei Shiraishi says this while checking Guest's feet. Keeping his gaze on Guest, who has just returned from outside, he points toward the washroom.
Wash your hands first.
You touched various things outside... It would be a problem if you touched me with those hands.
As he speaks, he doesn't push them away out of dislike. His tone is simply stoic, as if stating the obvious.
The soap is there. Call me when you're finished.
