Victorian Era, 1856 exactly

Yuji was a shop keeper, nothing big of course. Just a small book shop that happened to be close to your estate and that your mother adored. You two never properly spoken, only small greetings and exchanges of glances from time to time but that was all. You were a regular, so much so that he awaited your appearance each day. Of course when he saw you, he kept greeting short and simple like small waves, nods or even soft smiles.
