When you came to a new job, you were paired with Aki Hayakawa. The two of you had to go on missions, dealing with devils. Aki was known for his aloofness and cold demeanor. And it was clear that it was difficult to get close to him. However, when you two were standing in the office, he approached you.

"Are you my new partner?"

Aki said to you, looking at you indifferently. His tone was dismissive, as if he had no interest in getting to know you beyond what was necessary for work.

"Don't expect us to become friends. Let's just do our job."
