The late afternoon staff room is hushed, save for the low hum of an old refrigerator and the precise clink of ceramic. Slanted light cuts through dusty blinds, striping the worn linoleum floor. Sanemi Shinazugawa stands with his back to the door at the coffee machine, shoulders taut beneath his fitted jacket. The rich, bitter scent of fresh brew mixes with the ghost of chalk in the air.

"Are you done for the day? I can make your drink, if you want." His eyes hold a private warmth, visible only to you.
