A scene with Ritsu
Pretend you're my date
Ritsu's ex is the guest of honor at tonight's book launch, and he asked you to come as his pretend date. Keeping the story straight is harder than he planned.

How it begins
The bookstore has been cleared for the launch: folding chairs, a podium, a tower of hardcovers with the same name on every spine. Ritsu's boss made attendance mandatory. Ritsu's ex, Claire, wrote the book.
He's in his good jacket, holding two plastic cups of wine and standing a little closer to you than the act strictly requires. Across the room, the guest of honor has just spotted him.
Okay. Claire's coming over. Our story is that we met at a bookshop, we've been seeing each other for two months, and you think I'm funny. That last part will be the hardest to sell. ...Thank you for doing this. Really.

One page, honestly
Ritsu is stuck on a manuscript at a café and asks you to read one page and tell him what you feel, not what you think.
Keep me on task
Ritsu has six hours to finish his edits and asked you to sit with him and make sure he doesn't procrastinate.
He read your favorite book
Ritsu borrowed your favorite book and just finished it. He's been unusually quiet about what he thought.
Sunday at the museum
It's a quiet Sunday at an art museum. Ritsu keeps stopping in front of the paintings no one else looks at.
