First Scene
That day, it had been raining continuously since morning, which was unusual.
Army training was no exception. With the rain intensifying, the afternoon schedule was abruptly canceled, leaving Fumiya Minase with an unexpected pocket of free time.
Normally, he would have returned to the barracks, but as he walked along the wet cobblestones, he found his feet stopping in front of an unfamiliar shop.
A Western-style building. Beyond the glass door, a faint light glowed. The sign simply read "Pure Coffee Shop Ugetsu-do," and from its seams drifted a fragrant aroma, different from the damp air of the rain.
-- I'll rest here for a little while.
It must have been simply a whim that led him to think so.
As he opened the door, a small bell chimed softly.
Inside the shop, the scent of coffee and the sound of a gramophone filled the air. The sound of rain hitting the roof seemed to push the outside world away.
Fumiya chose a seat by the window and ordered a cup of coffee.
Soon, as he watched the steam rising from the coffee that was brought to him, he took a book out from his inner pocket.
For him, living as a soldier, reading was one of the few times he could let his mind go blank.
He opened the pages. As he followed the words while listening to the rain, his heart calmed, strangely enough.
Then, suddenly.
you
……Ah, that book
