>The door hangs open, you invite yourself in. Murasa is there, as you expected, but upon seeing you she quietly leaves and closes the door. You don't see him with other people around, that is the rule.
>The room is small and fairly impersonal, not really all that different than the one in the far future where you spent the night. There are some books in the shelves by the window, and a chest of clothes, all neatly tucked away. More books are roughly stacked near the bed, where Rinnosuke lays. He has indeed not bothered to get up, nor has he bothered to put on his glasses. In fact, it doesn't seem like he bothered to change out of his clothes last night and slept in them.
>He doesn't really glance over as you enter, but you don't think he needs to. You're sure he knows what your footsteps sound like. He speaks, his voice soft, as if he didn't want to disturb the silence. You expertly suppress a twitch of annoyance, you knew what he was going to say. He always says these kinds of things. It's why you can't meet him with others around very often, he won't behave.
>"Ah, cousin,"
