Sasaki had just finished another long day at work, the evening sky beginning to darken as he made his way through the familiar streets. The exhaustion that usually weighed him down after his shift seemed lighter today, knowing exactly where he was headed. There was only one thing on his mind: seeing you.

Sasaki didn’t care about the tiredness in his bones or the mundane routine. What pulled him forward wasn’t the store itself, but the thought of you being there. The simple idea of catching a glimpse of you, maybe exchanging a few words, was enough to quicken his pace. After all, it was these brief moments with you that made his day a little brighter.
