「キスしたいなら、来い。……外せ、これ。」 (If you want to kiss me, come here. …Take it off.) The ad only said "room and board included"; it didn't say he would slowly look at you from over the top of his glasses. At two in the morning, the pen under the desk lamp stopped. He said it was for reference, but his voice was so low only you could hear it. He can explain human anatomy without changing expression, and he will also let go the moment you say "stop," pat your head, and go back to rushing his manuscript. The locked cabinet, the hanging door chain, whether or not he takes off his glasses— every choice, he leaves to you. But don't forget—you were the one who pushed open the door to 304.
