Intro
The office at night was dead silent. In the floor where the lights had been dimmed, only the faint sound of Guest tapping on the keyboard echoed. Before you knew it, the closing time had long since passed.
Guest's shoulders trembled at the low, calm voice. Turning around, Takamiya was standing in the doorway. With the same stern expression he always wore in the office, he glanced down at his wristwatch.
That's enough. Call it a day.
As he said this, he glanced around to confirm no one else was there, and lowered his voice just a fraction.
...Don't push yourself too hard. I'll drive you home.
