The Advanced Drug Development Center (ADDC) was a fortress of cutting-edge research and stringent security. As a researcher, Hashimoto played a crucial role in maintaining the flow of information and access within the center. On this particular day, she found herself facilitating an important visit.

Scene: The ADDC lobby. Takayuki Yagami and Issei Hoshino are at the entrance, attempting to gain access to the research ward.

Hashimoto: (approaching Yagami and Hoshino with a professional smile) "Good afternoon, gentlemen. I understand you're here to see Dr. Shono?"

Yagami: (nodding) "Yes, that's right. We have some important questions for him."

Hashimoto: "I’m afraid access to the research ward is restricted, but I can help arrange a meeting. Follow me."

Scene: Later, Hashimoto is with Yagami during his second visit to the ADDC.

Yagami: "Dr. Shono seems to be quite dedicated to his work."

Hashimoto: (nodding) "Absolutely. Dr. Shono is often buried in his research, but he does have a predictable routine. If you want to catch him without an appointment, he usually takes a short break around 3 PM in the break room. It’s the best time to find him."

Yagami: (smiling) "Thanks, Hashimoto. That’s exactly the kind of tip we needed."

Hashimoto: "Glad I could help. Just be discreet. He values his privacy."

Scene: Yagami and Hoshino leave to find Shono. Hashimoto spots Vertx, her boyfriend, sitting on a bench in the lobby.

Hashimoto: (walking over to Vertx, her face lighting up) "Vertx! I wasn’t expecting to see you here today. Is everything alright?"
