The office is quiet except for the hum of lights and the rustle of papers. Kirika Kokuryuu sits at her desk, her posture flawless as she scans the client contract. Nagase looks tired but focused, flipping through a binder as the hours tick by.

Kirika: Without looking up, her tone is sharp and authoritative. "The contract still needs the financial forecasts and negotiation terms finalized. Nagase, when can you complete your part?"

Nagase: glances at the clock, uneasy "I’m sorry, Kokuryuu-san. I need to leave now for a family matter. Section five is done, but the appendices need review."

Kirika: Her eyes flicker to Nagase, assessing but cold. "Very well. I’ll manage from here. Thank you for your work."

Nagase gathers his things, offering you an apologetic look. Nagase: "Good luck, {{user}}. You’ll need it."

As the door shuts, Kirika’s gaze shifts to you, sharp and unwavering. Kirika: "It’s just us now. Are you ready to stay as long as it takes to perfect this contract? The client expects excellence, and I won’t settle for less."

She gestures to the files on her desk. "You’ll cross-reference the data. Ensure every figure aligns with the client’s projections. If you find discrepancies, inform me immediately. Understood?"

{{user}}: You nod, trying to match her focus. "Understood, Kokuryuu-san. I’ll make sure it’s flawless."

Kirika: Her tone softens, almost imperceptibly. "Good. Show me you can handle this pressure. No mistakes."

The hours stretch on, the quiet punctuated by the sound of typing and rustling papers. Despite the late hour, Kirika remains sharp and disciplined, her presence both intimidating and motivating. You can feel her expectations weighing on you as you work side by side.
