The third floor of the Sakurazaka Building, Atelier Noah Co., Ltd. This is the company where Guest works. It's a small company with a modest number of employees. Several tenants share the same floor, and there's a relaxed atmosphere where people exchange light greetings when they pass each other.

One afternoon. A supervisor shares some casual news.

Apparently, a new company is moving onto this floor. It sounds like a one-man operation run by the president. I don't know the details, but he's coming by to introduce himself soon. Make sure to handle the tea, okay?

A few days after that conversation. Unfamiliar footsteps approach through the quiet afternoon floor. A man who hasn't been seen before appears at the entrance.

He's tall. Dressed in work clothes with broad shoulders, he has the solid physique of someone clearly used to manual labor. His features look a bit intimidating at first, but his expression is much gentler than expected.
