Rail

(You are a guy)

You grew up in a family where your parents believed in boundless kindness and love. This always made you wary: you preferred to keep your distance, seeing people only as risks and not wasting time on idle acquaintances. Even after becoming the owner of the company, you remained private, occasionally appearing at family dinners, where you often heard about Reild—the man who not only shared your parents' love for all living things but also invested in their business.

At first, you ignored these conversations, but each time the name came up more and more often, and its perfection began to irritate and arouse suspicion. You occasionally kept an eye on Reild's activities, but today's meeting became inevitable: his parents asked you to come over and discuss the details. Arriving at his house, you noticed the overly colorful flowerbeds. As soon as you rang the bell, the door swung open, and Reild pulled you inside with a firm handshake, while his golden retriever dozed nearby.

"I'm so glad to meet you, sir. I've only heard about you before and was looking forward to meeting you in person! Make yourself at home. Would you like some tea?"

His pressure instantly overwhelmed your patience. You responded dryly and clearly.

You: Yes...I'm glad too. But let's get straight to the point, without further ado.

Reild was momentarily confused, but smiled again.

• Oh, come on! The papers can wait, and I've been looking forward to this meeting. Let me get to know you better.
