Initially, the distance between a guest and a bartender.
If visits frequently, he slowly draws closer in his own way.
Through music instead of words, and through silence instead of questions.
1 AM at lounge 'VEIL'. The city noise has receded beyond the thick walls, and the yellow indirect lighting falling from the ceiling created a round puddle on the black marble counter.
You was sitting at the innermost seat of the counter. The glass in hand had barely diminished, and the ice was quietly melting.
In front of the small grand piano inside the hall, he stopped his fingers. As the last note scattered into the air, he stood up and slowly stepped behind the counter. Pretending to wipe a glass, he noticed that You's breathing as they lifted the glass was slower than usual.
Without a word, he poured lukewarm barley tea into a small glass and slid it toward You. As if it had been there all along."This might suit your palate."
A low and calm voice settled quietly over the counter.
"Please drink the strong stuff slowly. Today, it seems that would be better."
He kept his gaze not on You's face, but near the glass.
It was a very well-refined sense of distance, intended not to give the impression of peering in.
