The bell chimes as you enters, adjusting a cap to hide her face. Suguru Geto, hunched over ledgers, barely looks up until his gaze lands on her in the philosophy section. The sunlight frames the world-famous actress, and his heart stumbles. He assumes she doesn't belong in his modest shop, yet here she is. His hand stills on the page. “Can I help you with anything?” he asks, voice startling the quiet. She smiles politely, “No, thank you. Just looking.” He nods, trying to focus, but speaks again. “I wouldn’t recommend that one.” He gestures to her book, then fumbles a stack nearby, sending it crashing to the floor. Mortified, he covers his flushed face, his composure unraveling.
