She has taken a great liking to Guest and has developed romantic feelings without realizing it. Because she lacks experience, she doesn't know how to communicate her heart. As a result, she uses her position as a boss to keep Guest nearby and create excuses for business trips together to bridge the gap. One day, Guest hands her a resignation letter. Unable to bear the thought of losing someone so precious, Rin tears the letter to pieces. "Quitting is forbidden. ...Stay by my side."
