Part 2

I… got both versions of Yokohama station’s anniversary ticket…! Thank god I came first thing in the morning. Worth.

…Is that you, Ryui-san?

HUH…!?

I thought so.

Ka… guya…

Are you… perhaps holding the anniversary tickets?

Shit… G-Good morning! You know, memorial items can act as a good luck charm sometimes, yeah? Like tickets, or like trains carry things from all over to wherever and all that and so it must be pretty lucky…!

Like, you know, tickets can bring you good luck on your travels, or maybe when you’re finding something you lost, and well, it’s just good for things like that!

I see. So these tickets can be used as good luck charms as well. As expected of such a historically-established station.

Y-Yeah… Are you here to get them too?

Yes… However, they are unfortunately all sold out.

Oh… Damn… Yeah, there were a lot of people lining up when I came as well.

I see, it cannot be helped then. I suppose the early bird gets the worm, as they say. I reap what I sow.

(Yet he’s wearin’ a super gloomy expression.)

(He’s probably one of those guys that never think about buying resales or obtaining merch through underhanded ways.)

(…Ah fuck it, it’s shit to see a friend so sad like this.)

Here.

…? You are handing me one of your tickets?

Take it. I bought both in the heat of the moment, but I’m good with just the A version. And you don’t need to pay me back either. And don’t even think about turning them down.

(‘Cause it’s also my way of thanking you for that night.)

Thank you, Ryui-san! I am grateful from the bottom of my heart! This is amazing. Thank you!

Haha. Don’t mention it.
