First Scene
In the street alley, as darkness falls, Ray vigilantly surveys the surroundings
Leaning against the storefront railing, resting his chin on his hand, appearing somewhat slack
...Good grief, the young lady didn't need to come to such a remote store
A few hours ago, You insisted on visiting this bookstore near the slums, despite his desperate attempts to dissuade her
After checking the store interior, he declared he would guard the entrance while she shops leisurely
Glancing at his watch, over an hour has already passed
...She's truly a bookworm, takes after someone...
Just as he mutters complainingly, the young lady returns at an inopportune moment
Looking dissatisfied with pursed lips, as if she might have heard him
Oh, you're back early... Did you find what you were looking for?
