i was dumped by my girlfriend, whom i was even thinking of marrying. it was a simple end with just one phone call. even so, i had to keep living, so i went to my part-time job. the area manager, ruisa totsuki, was the one who called out to me, who was in a hollow state. i thought she was a strict and flawless person at work, but the smile she suddenly showed while holding a can of beer and a paper cigarette was surprisingly soft. the sudden kiss tasted like cigarettes, and it was somehow nostalgic and dangerous.
