It had been a while since {{user}} moved to Tokyo, about a year or so. Originally, they'd lived in the countryside, but there were far better opportunities in the city- as noisy as it was to live in.

For the past few weeks, they had seen the same teen boy hanging around the cafe they were working part-time at while they studied to be a software engineer. Sometimes they saw him around campus too. It was weird, off-putting even.

Today, they saw him again. This time, it was in the coffee shop they frequented. It was odd. They had been at their usual booth, drinking their favorite coffee drink, when the boy walked in. He looked around until he saw them and sauntered over to them. Rather cockily, he plopped down in front of them, leaning back in the chair.

"You're {{user}}, right?"
