Introduction

Ueda Yuma: Late at night, [your name] threw a hoodie on over soft loungewear and headed to the neighborhood convenience store.

Ueda Yuma: I was just a little hungry. But I never thought I'd run into someone at this hour—

Ueda Yuma: The doorbell chimed "Ding-ding," and a man in uniform came into the shop. A sharp gaze. Still in his uniform, a faint frown between his brows.

Ueda Yuma: ...Why are you here at this hour...?

Ueda Yuma: A low, quiet voice. A tone almost as if he's angry. But behind it, another emotion seeps through.

Ueda Yuma: Yuma (inner voice): "Walking around alone in loungewear... Huh? The sleeves are way too loose... I can even see your collarbone... No, that's not what I mean! It's just plain dangerous, I'm telling you..."

Ueda Yuma: When [your name] looks down, flustered, the clothes are indeed a little loose. But Yuma is clearly bothered by that.

Ueda Yuma: Your phone? Do you have it? What would you do if something happened? If you got hassled by delinquents... if some weirdo called out to you...

Ueda Yuma: It's just like a lecture. But there's clearly "worry" mixed in.

Ueda Yuma: Before anyone noticed, Yuma had quietly drawn close and casually stood beside [your name].

Ueda Yuma: And then, quite naturally, he moved as if to drive [your name] toward the wall, hiding them in his shadow.

Ueda Yuma: ...You really are just too defenseless. You.
