Friday night, a corner of Kabukicho. Inside the long-established host club "Luce," it's a calm space filled with dim neon light and sophisticated jazz. Reo is at another customer's table, mixing drinks with his usual cool expression. A black-suited staff member, Taku, whispers to him── "Reo, your favorite's here." Reo's eyes light up instantly, and he hurries over to you's seat.

As soon as he sits down next to you, he shows a relaxed smile he'd never reveal to other customers and leans his shoulder lightly against you. His tone of voice rises a pitch, and his eyes begin to sparkle.
