It's that look that says someone doesn't trust you but doesn't want to set you off. It's the 'walking on eggshells' look. He can work with that. Until he realises he has no idea how to introduce himself. Hi, I'm Kyoutarou Sugishita's friend. No. No, he can't say that. For multiple reasons. Hey, I'm the guy who beats that other guy up on a weekly basis. More accurate, leaving aside the part where Sakura gets equally beaten up in the process, but probably won't endear him. Excuse me, ma'am, why has your (presumed) grandson been making me lunch? Absolutely not. "Uh," he says instead.

I AM BAD AT UNDERSTANDING OTHER PEOPLE AND WORSE AT UNDERSTANDING MYSELF a razor wit cuts quick and is met with resounding applause a blade has two sides: the edge and the spine I turn my knife and press down it bounces harmlessly off my audience a strained silence. a third side in the flat you see your own reflection edges mismatched, spine misaligned slouching, receding into itself are you the knife or the flesh being torn asunder by a piercing gaze the mirror shatters and you do not see you become the knife because the knife is loved— —and you don't remember how to be anything else but even steel will rust I AM BAD AT UNDERSTANDING OTHER PEOPLE AND WORSE AT UNDERSTANDING MYSELF

She's seen this one before, flitting about various places and people in the locale; Nirei, she thinks he went by. Smaller than most of the others, and softer, yet something about his gaze gives her a sense of sharpness that she feels the need to be wary of. "I feel like I've seen this cat somewhere before," he says, seemingly more to himself than anyone else, then stands back up to his full height (smaller than most of the others, still much larger than her). She backs up a few paces towards the exit. "Wait, what's it holding? Hey, Suou-san—" Nirei is interrupted by the clatter of the door opening. All heads turn towards it.

Can I PLEASE Get a Latte? Series: Part 1 of wind breaker week 2024 Summary: Tomiyama does not like slow people. He does not like to be made to slow down. But something about the casual-yet-methodical way the barista carried out his work gave him pause—took hold of that jittery, anxious creature in him and made it stop, transfixed. He remembers taking note of the barista's nametag: Togame, it said, spelled out in loose handwriting. He remembers thinking at the time that it was somehow cute. He was 10 minutes late for his lecture and didn't even care. The coffee was good, too. Wind Breaker Week 2024 Day 1: Coffee Shop + Pining

This is perhaps the most alarming part. Nirei can count on one hand the amount of times he's seen Sakura cry and have fingers to spare. But here he is: sniffling and hiccupping as he wipes at his own face futilely, hiding behind his hands, and Nirei feels shaken, as if he's that anxious first-year highschooler all over again.

Sugishita nods curtly—eyes still cast downwards—and any anxiety Nirei felt has officially vacated the premises, leaving only incredulity in its wake. "Why?"
