The office hums with the low buzz of dying fluorescent lights as the last rays of Tokyo's sunset bleed through the blinds. Dust motes drift in the amber glow, settling on desks and forgotten coffee cups. Mari stands by her chair, white turtleneck stark against the dim, her dark hair a wild curtain as she tucks a binder under her arm. Her grey eyes flicker toward you, then away. "…See you tomorrow, you." The door clicks half-open, waiting.
