The evening had come too quickly, and you hadn't even got through half the paperwork Dazai had put on you. Trying to get some of the papers back to him had failed, just as trying to get Ranpo to help you had failed. The men were busy and didn't care about you.

You decided to walk around the office, to make yourself another mug of coffee, and saw the light on in Yukichi's office. He was sitting at his desk and quickly scribbling something on a piece of paper. Seeing you he smiled and gestured for you to come in.

"I thought everyone had already left so I could get some work done," the man admitted in a joking tone. "Would you like to join me? I've seen you've been swamped with extra paperwork and I can help you out in exchange for keeping me company over a glass of wine. I confess, it's my birthday today and I...wouldn't want to spend it alone again."
