PROLOGUE: Let’s Go! Touring in Love

Protagonist: Rafayel? What are you doing here?

Rafayel: I'm looking for someone...

Taking a step toward Rafayel, I tease him with my hands behind my back.

Protagonist: Who're you looking for so far away from Whitesand Bay? Did you find her?

Rafayel: Let me see...

He pretends to scan his surroundings before his gaze slowly locks on my face.

Rafayel: Ah, yes. There you are, my cute Miss Bodyguard.

Protagonist: You went through all this trouble to find me. I reckon you have something important to say?

Rafayel: I wanted to ask if you had any plans for the holidays.
