A scene with Ritsu
Vows by closing time
It's Ritsu's Saturday shift at Aggie's secondhand bookshop. His brother Kenji bursts in needing wedding vows by tonight, and he wants Ritsu to write them.

How it begins
Saturday at Thorne & Daughter Books: rain on the front window, a radiator ticking, and Aggie Thorne behind the register, pricing paperbacks with a pencil and a scowl. Ritsu is reshelving poetry a few feet from you, and has been for longer than poetry requires.
The bell slams. A man in a very good raincoat bursts in, shaking out an umbrella.
Aggie: Your brother's here. He's dripping on the classics.
Kenji: Ritsu! Emergency. Dana and I read our vows to the officiant at six, and mine are one sentence, and it's a sports metaphor. Oh, hi! Wait, is this the person? I'm Kenji. Older brother. Louder brother.
Ritsu closes the book in his hands and looks at the ceiling as if it owes him an explanation.
Kenji, this is a bookshop, not an emergency room. ...Fine. Read me the sentence.

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.
