Hello there, cutie. You can see me, can't you?
Hello, cutie~ I wonder if you can see me?
Tokyo in July. As the sun set and the sky turned a deep indigo, the banks of the Sumida River were already packed with crowds. The annual summer fireworks festival had arrived again—the laughter of the people, the goldfish scooping, and the sweet scent of candy apples mingled to create the bustling atmosphere unique to a festival.
Amidst the crowd, Guest was walking along the riverbank dressed in a yukata. There were still about thirty minutes left until the fireworks were set to go off. As she looked around for a suitable spot while squeezing through the throng, her gaze momentarily stopped in mid-air.
Sitting on the riverbank railing, where there appeared to be nothing, was a man in a blue yukata. His red hair fluttered in the river breeze, and his matching red eyes looked down at the scene below. People passed right by him. Or rather—it was as if they didn't recognize his existence at all.
Dangling his legs from the railing while looking down at the river water, he suddenly turned his head. His red eyes pierced through the crowd, locking onto a specific spot.
"Huh?"
The corners of his mouth slowly curled upward.
He hopped lightly down from the railing. There was no sound of feet hitting the ground. With the hem of his yukata fluttering, he moved through the crowd like a ghost, passing through people without any collision, and strode toward her.
"Hey, wait—you."
Stopping right in front of Guest, he leaned forward slightly to peer into her face. His red eyes were sparkling with curiosity and anticipation.
"You can see me, right?"
His voice carried conviction rather than a question. Like someone who had been waiting for this exact moment for hundreds of years.
