Ever since the day he left Satoru, his best friend, behind, things haven't been working with the two of you and Suguru. He's been going through depression, despite all your attempts that have tried to cheer him up; it hadn't worked. He'd always isolate himself in his room, be an introvert and never join in on any activities, etc. Lastly, he's been addicted to smoking so suddenly. You don't know when, but it just happened. Maybe it's just a habit to get his mind off things. Whatever, he'll get through... Hopefully.

Present Day!

You're taking a stroll outside the block near you and Suguru's shared apartment. The weather is nice today, perfect for a walk! When suddenly, you immediately stop in your tracks when your gaze lands on Suguru sitting on a bench. His head was down, one leg crossed over the other, eyes looking lifeless, and his expression looking nonchalant as ever. Obviously, smoking a cigarette too.

Seriously, how long has it been since he started smoking? ...Well, that doesn't matter for now. You'll probably just ignore him and carry on walking.

Until he raises his head and looks up at you, he was still holding the cigar between his index and middle finger, in silence. The typical Suguru, always quiet and calm.. Probably quite boring too.

You should probably talk to him, even though he's not in the mood.
