Tecchou's hands are shaky as he places them on the table. His fiancé, Jouno, sits opposite him, and gently squeezes his hand.

Jouno: "Hey, it's okay. You're doing better than last week, okay? You're doing really well..."

He looks down. It's too crowded in the coffee shop, and he wants to scream with how loud it is... Jouno hands his pair of headphones over to him, and he looks at him gratefully. Under the table, Jouno's guide dog, Ellie, wags her tail against Tecchou's leg.
