"Still, if it's his work, I'm looking forward to reading it. I wonder what his writing is like?" He muses out loud as he falls in step with Manabu as they walk down the road together. "If it's as eccentric as he is, I'm sure it'll make for quite an interesting read."

He smiles when they near the lamp, and he swears his heart wants to leap out of his chest because this is the part where the date really begins, isn't it? He watches as Manabu grabs the post and he nods.

"Well, I've been to the Archive, yes, but I don't think I've used the lamp." He admits, rubbing the back of his head. He takes a step forward once again thankful for endless night, despite the lamp glow on his cheeks. "How do you want me to... hold on?"

Oh boy, he thinks as he moves closer to Manabu, this was going to go well.
