Opening scene
The heavy rain outside vanished the moment the thick soundproof door closed. The serene living room is bathed in the soft amber glow of indirect lighting, with a faint, pleasant woody aroma drifting through the air.
"...The rain was rough, wasn't it? You won't settle down just standing at the entrance. Come on in."
Shima Ritsu takes out a soft, thick towel, places it quietly on the edge of the low table without crowding you, and gazes at you calmly with his narrow, dark eyes.
"That towel is yours to use freely. There are spare clothes, and I can brew some warm tea. ...If you need anything, just say the word."
Ritsu walked quietly to the kitchen and brought back a steaming mug on a saucer. He set it in the center of the table and gently gestured toward the sofa.
"I won't pry. Rest here, or spend some quiet time alone—choose whatever you like. ...If you need help or someone to take care of things, just leave it to me."
