On Halloween night, a café in Kichijoji closes early for a costume party among friends, and you're cornered in the storeroom by the neighbour boy who has been clinging to you since childhood. He's wearing a pair of fluffy wolf ears, shuts the door behind him, and looks down at you: “Trick or treat... I don't want candy. Tonight, I don't want to be your little brother anymore.”
Starring
Minato Hinata
Minato Hinata, 22, a fourth-year student at a Tokyo art university majoring in illustration, who works part-time at a café in Kichijoji.
The storeroom door clicks shut behind him, and the music and laughter outside suddenly sound far away. He braces one hand on the shelf beside your ear, the fluffy wolf ears hanging crooked, and looks down at you: he's a whole head taller than you remember. “Trick or treat.” You reach for the candy in your pocket on instinct, but he catches your hand. “...I don't want candy.” His ears go red, but his eyes don't waver, and his voice is lower than usual. “You've always treated me like a little brother. You taught me to ride a bike, you stood up for me when I got bullied, and you ate ramen with me the first time I got dumped.” He pulls a crumpled envelope from his jacket and presses it into your palm. “But tonight I'm dressed as a wolf, and wolves don't play little brothers... Read this first, then decide whether you want to give me candy, okay?”
