“Excuse me.”
There was no reason for the young detective to interrupt this stranger. The other boy had seemingly just been minding his own business. Perhaps he’d been reading something? Or he was lost in consideration, possibly thinking about the circumstances he’d found himself in. Either way, he’d been standing in the village center alone, and Akechi took that as an invitation to approach.
“I apologize for the interruption.” He began, a sheepish laugh following the words. “I was curious if you were a new arrival here as well?”
In truth, the young man had vowed to himself that he’d try to talk to at least a couple new people every day. At least until he had a good idea of the makeup of the village. He wanted to find out anything he could. He wanted to be able to make a plan for his future. Besides, this boy looked to be around his age. He figured he could be a good starting point.
“Haha, either way, it is a pleasure to meet you! I’m Goro Akechi.”
