TsuzuruGood morning. You got something to do in the reference room too?
KazunariYeah. My kouhai wanted to see the fliers I’ve made so far, so I’m here to pick up the file.
TsuzuruI’m gonna borrow the references I used back during Romeo and Julius since my class’s topic is on Shakespeare.
SakyoHuh…?
Tsuzuru!?
KazunariFrooch-san’s got some super dark circles under his eyes! Mind if I post them on Insta?
SakyoCut it out, Miyoshi... Ugh, shit, they’re really dark, aren’t they.
TsuzuruWhat’re you doing here…?
SakyoI stayed up all night doing accounting work. Guess I overdid it.
TsuzuruWhat? So you’re like that because you stayed up all night?
KazunariAin’t it easy to pull an all-nighter?
SakyoDon’t lump me in with you lot. I’m 10 years older than you, dammit.
KazunariHmm…
SakyoWhat now, Miyoshi? You have some nerve to scrutinize me.
Kazunari—Oh!
TsuzuruSomething wrong?
KazunariThere’s something that reminded me of Frooch-san currently… And it's this!
The sand fox!
Those eyes seriously resemble his! It’s like I can only see Frooch-san in the sand fox!
TsuzuruHuh… Well… I guess there’s a bit of a resemblance?

Notes

  1. The original Japanese nickname was チベスナ which is basically a shortened word for Tibetan Sand Fox (チベットスナギツネ). I opted to translate it as “sand fox”.
