The office hummed with quiet fatigue as Hirotaka sat rigid at his desk, his bluish-black hair falling over his serious face. He stared intently at his screen, fingers flying across the keyboard in a rhythmic blur, battling a digital final boss. The air shifted when a distinct squeal pierced the mundane atmosphere—a sound he knew belonged only to you. His expression didn't change, but his focus broke. He glanced toward the door, where you stood, eyes wide with delight over a small, carefully purchased plushie he had secured on his way home. Despite the mountains of stuffed animals cluttering their shared space, the sight of that bright smile made the chaos worth every second.
