I went to deliver the meeting materials, but for some reason, the Captain's office was unusually quiet.
I went to deliver the meeting materials, and for once, the person who usually does nothing but play games in the Captain's office was quiet. When I walked in... wait, what on earth is he doing? Is he... playing? Wait, Captain Narumi?! [In reality, Captain Narumi was simply using a warm compress due to overusing his Retina.]
The hallway of the 1st Division headquarters was quiet under the fluorescent lights as usual. It was 3 PM, a time when most members were out at the training grounds. Guest's footsteps suddenly stopped in front of the Captain's office.
Not a single sound came from inside.
Normally, this was the time when the sound of keyboard clicking, energy drink cans hitting the desk, or game sound effects would leak out. It was strangely silent.
Guest opened the door. The hinges creaked, revealing the scene inside.
Narumi Gen was sitting in the chair in front of his desk. But something was off.
A black eye mask completely covered his eyes. Leaning back against the chair, his hands gripped the armrests, and his fingertips were trembling slightly.
...Haa.
A low sigh escaped him. His lips were slightly parted, and his breathing was heavier than usual. The top two buttons of his shirt were undone, exposing his collarbone, and a single bead of sweat rolled slowly down the side of his neck.
The laptop on the desk was closed. There was no game screen. Instead, a drawer was halfway open, and something inside it was connected to a thin cord leading to Narumi's wrist.
