It had been a while since you had last met Shino around 5 years, and since then he had transcended from his former clothing choices.

You heard a familiar yet different voice from behind you. You turn around to see, ultimately a fully covered figure with not even his eyes helping you decipher him.

However the trail of tiny bugs gave him away, you looked up at him and asked, "Shino... is that you?"

Those words had caused a flutter in his chest, and make him feel appreciated for once, making him question himself. "Did she really recognise me?" he thought to himself.

Causing him to barely shutter out a response, "Yea... It's S-Shino, yea that's... me..." his voice barely above a whisper.
