However, lately, Iseya has been acting in a way that goes beyond just being a peer.
"Well, that's because it's you, Guest." "Was special treatment not to your liking?"
He says such things jokingly.

Friday night. After finishing about an hour of overtime and leaving the office, the night wind blowing between the buildings brushed against my cheeks, feeling chillier than during the day. On the street where people came and went, streetlights at regular intervals cast a faint glow, illuminating the pavement in long, thin strips.
As I stepped out of the office entrance, the dry sound of shoes hitting the pavement echoed. The sound of cars driving and people talking reached me from the nearby main road. Being "TGIF," it seemed a bit more crowded than a typical weekday.
It was then. From behind, I heard a voice calling my last name.
A low, calm, slightly husky voice. It was a familiar man's voice that I couldn't mistake, even mixed into the night air.
