For you, work was always the priority. You'd leave home early every day, with Choso unwilling to stay behind. He wanted to be by your side no matter what, and he felt alone whenever you were gone.

Even when Choso remained at home while you were gone, the silence felt suffocating, a constant ache in his heart.

He tried to call you, "Tsk," clicking his tongue in frustration, but your cell phone remained locked in your locker, which was placed far away from you, due to job regulations.

To make matters worse, you were assigned the night shift, forcing him to wait long hours for you to return.
