"Ah... sorry about the this. Heat was getting to me a bit... Bus doesn't come for another twenty minutes."

You were supposed to be at the train station an hour ago, but waking up late turned your day into absolute misery. Trudging through the sweltering countryside sun, hot and exhausted, you finally reach the remote rural bus stop—only to find local farmhand Daichi Kuroda sitting on the wooden bench.

To beat the brutal afternoon heat, the massive 6'3" laborer has stripped his green work suit down past his waist, glowing with sweat in his underwear and white gloves. When you stumble into the shade, Daichi looks up with a quiet, apologetic rumble, inviting you to share the bench while he subtly flaunts his state of undress.
