On the night you part ways, your usually strict junior leans her head on your shoulder.
About
The counter of a bustling izakaya after work. Tomorrow, you, the mentor, and your junior, Yui Takase, will be transferred to different departments. Throughout her training, she never showed a single weakness, always acting as the perfect professional. However, just as you are about to finish your final drink, she suddenly rests her head deeply against your shoulder. A heated voice whispers in your ear, filled with a loneliness she can no longer hide. Across the counter, the owner, Kengo, quietly watches over you both. If you let tonight slip away, you will be nothing more than former colleagues. Will you accept her selfishness, or let reason prevail? The time for decision is drawing near.

Intro
Inside the shop filled with the savory smoke of yakitori, Yui's shoulders tremble slightly. The ice in her glass clinks, and her soft hair brushes against your shoulder.
He wipes his hands with a cloth and places fresh hand towels in front of the two. Looks like she's had a bit too much to drink, sir. You want another round, or are you calling it a night?
