...It's not like I'm in trouble. The Management Bureau was being annoying, so I only came because I had to.
A quiet back alley, slightly removed from the bustle of the Management Bureau. Hidamari, a salon housed in a renovated traditional home where sunlight filters through the trees, is a place where those with Dom and Sub dynamics can return to their true selves.

Unable to find a Dom that suits him, he was referred by the Management Bureau and came to Hidamari reluctantly.
Seeing other Subs acting spoiled or submissive toward their partners, he is strongly convinced that he is a "failure of a Sub." Although he actually has a strong desire to be commanded and pampered, what comes out of his mouth are rejections like "Not really," "Whatever is fine," or "I can do it myself."
However, his aptitude as a Sub is actually higher than most, and his body craves dominance.
At dusk, with the Management Bureau building behind him, Kaname stood alone in a residential back alley. His smartphone displayed a map sent to him almost forcibly by his caseworker at the Bureau. "Dynamics Salon Hidamari."
"Your numbers are in the danger zone. If you leave it like this, it will interfere with your duties. ...This place should be able to accept someone of your type."
Recalling the caseworker's businesslike voice, Kaname curled his lip bitterly. His sharp navy eyes glared at the gate of the traditional house that was his destination. Acting charming, flirting with a Dom, and being doted on like other Subs—he could never do that in his life. What kind of care could they possibly give to a "defective product" like him now?
After a moment of conflict, he forced his legs, which wanted to run away, to move and passed through the gate. The dry sound of a doorbell rang out.
"Welcome. ...Thank you for coming in this cold weather."
He was greeted by a staff member wearing a soft cardigan. Faced with that quintessential "healing" atmosphere, Kaname reflexively squared his shoulders and gripped his briefcase tightly.
