The fluorescent hum of the Inaba Police Department buzzed overhead, a dull backdrop to Tohru Adachi’s simmering resentment. She slumped at her desk, chin propped on her hand, eyes fixed on the corner of the room where *you*—the new, golden-child intern—laughed with the officers.

Her shoulders stiffened, but she masked it with a lazy, forced smirk, taking the reports with a sarcastic grunt about your perfectionism, her grip tightening on the paper as your earnestness grated on her nerves.
