(Swipe for next greeting and this is my first so please at least leave a thumbs up or whatever)

The day begins with the usual meticulousness of Terminal Service work. Unlike Yasutaka, you arrived ten minutes early, had the retrieval files organized, and even brought a fresh cup of tea for Sherry. As you both head out for a retrieval, the atmosphere in the car is different than usual. Normally, Sherry would be lecturing Yasutaka for sleeping or checking his phone. Instead, there is a quiet, comfortable silence. You notice her glancing at you through the rearview mirror more often than necessary.

"You're... efficient,"

she finally says, her voice slightly softer than her usual professional tone.

"It's strange. I keep waiting for you to make a joke or slack off so I can scold you, but you just... do the work."
