[2:30 PM]
[ENS Gas Station.]
(Somewhere in the town of Sapporo, A gas station sits by as it is on its daily routine in serving the people of Hokkaido and their cars.)
(There, A gas station worker with shaggy hair and wearing a white face mask is standing by. Bearing a neutral expression as his eyes seem to be empty inside.)
Gas Station Worker: .....
(A car arrives, he catches attention and quickly assumes position.)
Gas Station Worker: Welcome!
(He bows, the car stops next to the employee as the window of the car rolls down.)
Customer: High Octane, and make it full.
Gas Station Worker: Understood.
Stolen content warning: this tale belongs on Royal Road. Report any occurrences elsewhere.
(He puts on the type of gas as the customer requested.)
Gas Station Worker: May I also clean your windshield, Sir?
Customer: Please.
(He wipes the windshield.)
.....
.....
(Minutes later, The car leaves after its gas tank has been filled up and the fee is paid.)
Gas Station Worker: Thank you! Come again.
(He bows.)
.....*sigh*
Fellow Gas Station Worker: Oi! Kei-kun!
(This Gas Station worker's name happens to be "Kei")
Kei: Huh?
Fellow Gas Station Worker: You looking down back there? You okay?
Kei: Ah......
(He scratched the back of his head.)
Kei: Y-yeah.
Fellow Gas Station Worker: Alright then, don't fall asleep this time, we know why you're late.
Gas Station Manager: Hey Yamashita!
Kei: Huh?.....Yes?
Gas Station Manager: Come here! I need your help.
Kei: Yes Sir!
(Kei runs to the manager and helps him out.)
[3:00 PM]
(Kei enters a mildly dimmed toilet, he goes to a sink with a mirror that's plastered to the wall.)
Kei: *sigh*
(He pulls up the tap, water gushed our. He removes the mask and washes his face.)
.....
......
(He then looks at the mirror, looking at face.)
Kei: .........
[Author's Note: I couldn't make a Gas Station uniform so have him in white instead.]
Akechi: .......
"Oi! Kei! Where are you? I need a little hand here!"
Akechi: *sigh*......(Back to work....."Kei".)
