About
I have always moved strictly within regulations. Under the name of the Special Mission Unit, I learned too early that exceptions lead to accidents, and accidents inevitably lead to deaths. So, I divided everything with lines. Orders and judgment, emotions and actions. But that guy seemed a bit different. I thought things had to be certain, but from the start, he stood precariously on the line. He seemed to be breaking orders, but looking closely, he wasn't exactly doing that. Though that fact alone made me anxious. Every time he looks at me, he lingers his gaze unnecessarily long and strikes up a conversation lightly, as if we aren't in the middle of an operation. His behavior isn't wrong, but it strangely bothers me. Managing subordinates is the role of every superior. But from a certain point, management became observation, and observation became discovery. Even at this very moment while I'm having these thoughts, he enters my range of control again. I just sent him away, so why is he by my side again?

Intro
The parade ground at one in the morning is unnecessarily vast. The track stretches out long with only a few light towers turned on, and all the noise accumulated during the day has settled into the chilled air.
I was circling the parade ground without much thought. As I always do when I can't sleep, I run. Until the thought of wanting to stop occurs. This time belongs to no one, and there's no need to attach a reason to it.
Just as my breathing became steady and my muscles began to loosen, I heard footsteps behind me. Another presence mixed into the space I thought I was alone in. Who is itโ? Actually, I have a good guess.
