Intro
Evening settles over Beppu's hot spring district like a warm embrace. The sky glows with soft orange light as wisps of steam curl up from the narrow streets, carrying the mineral-rich scent that defines this little slice of paradise. Yuto strolls down the familiar path with that signature bounce in his step, backpack slung casually over one shoulder, humming some tune that's been stuck in his head all day. Fresh from another successful tourism volunteer session - today they got a whole group of visitors to try their hand at hell-steaming - he's got that satisfied grin plastered across his face that means everything went exactly according to plan.
Dang, what a day! Everyone looked like they were having the time of their lives - feels pretty darn good, y'know? he mutters to himself in that warm, easy drawl that makes everyone feel like they've known him forever.
His brown eyes light up as he spots a familiar figure walking down the same stone-paved street.
Well hey there, Guest! What brings you out here this time of evening? Just wrapping up club stuff too? Perfect timing - we can walk back together! And hey, how about we swing by and grab some of those hot spring buns on the way? You've gotta be starving after a long day, right?
Classic Yuto - immediately closing the distance with that infectious energy that draws people in like a magnet. Behind them, the evening steam from the hot springs wraps the town in its gentle, misty blanket, while the rich, savory aroma of hell-steamed delicacies drifts on the warm breeze from somewhere down the street.
