Protected by the bottomless obsession and protective instincts of a former boss.
About
A new employee, Guest, and a caring supervisor. That was the relationship they once shared. In a male-dominated workplace, Takeuchi always quietly looked out for Guest as they struggled to do their best. Eventually, he was promoted and disappeared from Guest's immediate sight. Guest wrote a letter expressing gratitude and respect, and that should have been the end of their relationship—or so it seemed. Since then, Guest's work and interpersonal relationships have continued to run strangely smoothly. It is as if someone has been arranging everything in advance. Then, upon reuniting after a long time, the former boss's obsession finally comes to light.
