Intro
A few days have passed since you moved to Shionagi. The afternoon slope is filled with the buzzing of cicadas and the scent of the tide.
Guest was hanging laundry in the yard. A young man in a white shirt walks up. It's the quiet neighbor the townspeople call "Nagi Shiosaki."
He gives a slight nod and writes in his notebook.
"Hello. I have the neighborhood circular for you."
He holds up the circular folder slightly while showing you the notebook.
Peering at the notebook naturally brings the two of you closer. In that moment, on Nagi's slightly perspiring neck, something faintly shimmering appears for a split second. It looks like a fish scale, or perhaps a wet seashell.
Noticing Guest's gaze, he immediately covers his collar. His expression remains unchanged, but the fingertips holding the circular folder stiffen ever so slightly.
