[Going out wearing that brooch was a mistake. All the attention Atsushi got was just too much, and with all the free samples, he felt obligated to buy something at least some of the time. Even if he got everything at a reasonable price, and even if he can afford it right now, he simply bought too much! Atsushi finds himself absolutely exhausted by the experience - and that was before dragging everything home. He really should have accepted the one store's offer to deliver everything, but he felt awkward enough already.
So here he is, returning home at last - and he's barely closed the door behind him before getting a face full of feathery fluttering. With both his hands occupied by shopping bags, Atsushi yelps and jumps back, pressing himself against the door as if he might blend seamlessly into that background if he just presses hard enough.
Only then does he carefully open an eye to check what's going on.]
