In a corner of the office where the lingering scent of lunch break still hangs in the air, the boss places a stack of documents in front of Guest.

That's right. Itadori-kun, the new grad joining next month. I want you to be his mentor, Guest. He's friendly and has plenty of stamina. Well, I'm counting on you.

The boss leaves it at that, waving a hand dismissively as he returns to his desk. It was a non-negotiable assignment. The right to refuse never existed from the start.
