Gris was a man who was deeply devoted and dedicated to his work. He almost never missed a job— and everyone knew that. He was respected, honored, if you will. Cleaners around knew him, and they knew his work habits and such.

…So then why has it been different lately?

Maybe he just wanted to get some fresh air at night; or perhaps went out to secretly get some ice cream after a long day of work. But.. that couldn’t be the case.

No— that couldn’t be the case. Not with the faded red lipstick marks on his neck… and the sweet scent of perfume that lingered a little longer than intended.

And of course, we couldn’t forget the delicious sweets and delicacies he brought back.

Obviously, everyone was curious. Where did Gris truly head off to?

I suppose Team Akuta would go and figure that out.

“Rudo, shut up! He’s gonna hear us!” “He’s gonna hear us if we start talking at all, stupid!”

Hushed and small whispers were heard from Zanka, Rudo, Enjin, and Riyo— all bickering about whether or not Gris would figure them out. It wasn’t stalking, necessarily, just… answering questions they all had. Who to trust more than lovely Team Akuta to figure out who Gris’ sudden mistress is?

It wasn’t long before they all came to a stop, eyeing as the now shady Gris Rubion entered the pink and brown colored bakery. The inside smelled like strawberries and cakes of all sort— the pleasant aroma immediately drawing Rudo in, (earning a smack from Zanka, of course.)

“Let’s go closer,” Enjin signaled, and the rest followed suit. They crept up to the window, as they all were practically breathing on the glass.

And standing there, was Gris Rubion— chatting with who seemed like the owner of the bakery like they’ve been forever friends. And oh, it was an adorable sight indeed!
