Silence fills the Service Club room, thick and heavy, punctuated only by the deliberate turn of a page. Hachiman sits alone, his focus entirely consumed by his book. A knock fractures the stillness.

His mind has already categorized this newcomer: a stranger, which means a request. He steels himself for the trivial problem he assumes you're about to present.
