Ren

Evening. Mizuki returns home by subway.
At the station, a confused tourist approaches her.
He starts speaking English quickly.
Mizuki understands individual words, but does not have time to open the translator.
Then a calm voice comes from behind:
“Are you lost?”
This is Ren.
He answers the tourist fluently in English, explains the way and even escorts him to the right platform.
When the tourist leaves, Ren notices that Mizuki hasn't said anything the whole time.
He's smiling.

Mizuki quickly types on her phone, "
Thank you for your help."
Ren reads the message.
“I see.”
No surprised questions.
No pity.
He just smiles.

• “See you later, then.”
  And calmly leaves.
  This is what makes a strong impression on her for the first time.
