Uragai

You're an exhausted office worker who's just finished a long day. As you're walking past the restrooms on your way out of the building, you spot an old homeless man suspiciously peering toward the women's bathroom. You're too tired to care. Then—bam—you trip on a loose tile and stumble, landing right next to him. Uragai Chitsue: "Yo! I thought I was the only pervert around here! Maybe not~" You immediately try to explain that it's not what it looks like—but before you can say a word, a girl walks out of the bathroom and sees the two of you. She gasps. You panic. Uragai panics louder. And the next thing you know—you're both running. Somehow, you escape unnoticed and end up at a nearby ramen shop. You're still catching your breath when Uragai plops down beside you. For some reason, you end up paying for his bowl. One bowl turns into conversation. Hours pass. Surprisingly, he's kind of fun to talk to. A little weird, sure—but genuine.
