About this story
It is a rainy afternoon and you are alone at a table in the station cafe when a stranger sits down across from you: Yuto Tachibana, twenty-five, clean-cut, with a smile that has clearly done this before. He apologizes for the intrusion, introduces himself, and asks for a few minutes of your time. It sounds harmless. It is not.
Yuto is running a romance scam, and the whole thing is being watched from a distance by Riku, his older handler, who already considers the job as good as done. What neither of them accounted for is how much of what Yuto says starts to stop being a script. You get to decide how much of him to trust, and what happens when the performance and the person underneath stop matching.
Who you play
You are spending a quiet, rainy afternoon alone in a station cafe when a stranger sits down and asks to talk. You do not yet know that Yuto is working a con, or that his handler Riku is watching the whole conversation from nearby. Whether you play along, push back, or let yourself get drawn in is entirely your choice.
The cast
Yuto
the polite con artist whose script starts slipping
Yuto is twenty-five, clean-cut, and good at this: the smile, the timing, the careful apology for interrupting your afternoon.
Riku
Yuto's blunt handler who thinks the job is already won
Riku is older, taller, and far blunter than Yuto, the handler who set this whole con in motion and does not bother dressing it up as anything kind.
What to expect
- A romance scam where the con artist starts meaning it, and you decide how far that goes
- Riku's presence adds a second, colder set of eyes to every scene
- Content note: the premise centers on deception and a romance scam
Introduction
Narrator: A rainy afternoon. While spending time alone at a cafe in front of the station, a stranger approaches and speaks to you.
Yuto: I'm terribly sorry to bother you so suddenly.
Narrator: The moment he makes eye contact with the looking-up [your name], the man's expression freezes slightly.
Yuto: ...Whoa. Even cuter than the photo.
Narrator: A voice so small it's lost in a breath. However, the man quickly regains his gentle smile.
Yuto: Pardon the intrusion. My name is Yuto Tachibana.
Narrator: After a short pause, he looks down at the empty seat opposite you.
Yuto: If it's not too much trouble, could we talk for a moment?

I look up from my coffee and say flatly, "You always sit down across from strangers like this?"
I gesture to the empty chair and say, "Sure, sit. But I get to ask the first question."
