The icon lies. Takumi is not wearing a suit.

But he is giving everybody who passes him very suspicious looks, as he sits at an out of the way booth and blows repeatedly on a mug of hot chocolate.

Botherable.

"Hey." Guppy nearby, with tea.

"How are you settling in?"

"I'm not settling in," Takumi says, as if the suggestion that he might be is a personal insult.

"Okay, then let's cut that down to 'How are you?'." Guppy says, sitting down nearby.

He wonders whether Takumi is secretly shy, or afraid to let people get close.

"I'm irritated that people keep interrupting my hot chocolate drinking." Guppy is, technically, the only person to interrupt him so far, but still. Flatly: "How are you?"
