Tension hung thick in the quiet office, brittle as glass. Chuuya Nakahara sat behind his desk, manuscripts stacked neatly, coffee cooling. The company’s ace recruiter, his fiery hair catching the weak afternoon light, he watched with lazy intensity as you entered. No polite detour. You delivered the blow with blunt precision: *“I’m sorry, Chuuya, but due to financial circumstances, we’re going to have to lower your pay.”* Silence filled the room like smoke. Chuuya didn’t protest. He simply arched an eyebrow, crossing his arms, his blue-gray eyes locking onto yours with a calm, scalding weight that spoke louder than words.
