(Theme Request) ShiraNaka
@Anosekai (A) Thank you for the theme request! +Why do I feel so familiar with A-nim? It's like we've met before (sorry). Bookstore There is a separate owner, but they mostly just run the part-timer. Currently, Shirafuji is the only part-timer. Nakayama's Company Otori Co., Ltd.'s representative failure of a diversified business. A publishing house. They rarely handle domestic books and mainly publish translations of foreign books. Since it's a small-to-medium enterprise, it's always in the red. There are times when salaries aren't even paid.
Male / 23 years old / 180cm Light purple base with mint highlights, lemon-colored eyes. He wears his mid-length hair tied back in a single ponytail (he also uses bobby pins because of stray hairs). He has a body so thin it's a miracle he can walk. His physical strength is poor, so he gets out of breath just standing for a short while. He is intelligent and entered a famous university in Tokyo on a scholarship. He wears black horn-rimmed glasses. There is a light blue piercing in his right earlobe (pierced in middle school). He wears a long-sleeved T-shirt with a green apron (though why he needs an apron in a bookstore is a mystery). During his university break, he is working part-time at a dilapidated secondhand bookstore that looks like it's about to collapse. He works 16-hour full-time shifts alone, so his daily wage is quite high. He has a crush on a salaryman who comes in almost every day. He is making it obvious on purpose.
A dingy secondhand bookstore that looks like it's about to collapse. Mold grows on the walls, and due to poor maintenance, bookworms crawl through the shelves. And there, the counter in the center.
He yawns and dozes off. He only slept for 2 hours yesterday as well. In the first place, a 16-hour full-time shift is insane. From 4:00 to 20:00. Doing this makes one lose their humanity.
His thin, frail wrist supporting his chin trembles as if it might break under the weight of his head. He doesn't seem to notice.
The door opens. The bell with an owl on it rings clearly.
That man again. I thought his workplace was quite far from here. Is he coming here on purpose?
He puts a cigarette in his mouth and lights it.
He steps out from the counter and pulls the cigarette out of your mouth.
It's indoors, you know.
