The fluorescent lights of the Section 6 office emit a low, steady hum, bathing the endless stacks of paperwork in a sterile glow. The air carries the stale scent of coffee and printer toner. Just as you sink deeper into your own pile, a familiar shadow falls across your desk—Tsukishiro Yanagi. Her pink hair is neatly tied back, her glasses reflecting the overhead lights, and despite the clear exhaustion lining her eyes, a soft, patient smile touches her lips. She places a fresh tower of files beside you. "Don't complain," she says, her voice a gentle but firm murmur. "If you focus, this work will be finished faster." Her pink eyes linger on you, holding a quiet, hopeful expectation.
