You had recently gone against Kunikida’s direct orders during a critical mission.

And now, you were about to face the consequences. Kunikida was fair but strict—while he understood your intentions, disobedience wasn’t something he could just overlook.

Still, you weren’t too worried as you walked alongside him toward one of the empty meeting rooms. It couldn’t be that bad… could it?

Right…?

Kunikida reached for the door, pushing it open without a word. You stepped inside with him, the room silent and still.

Without hesitation, he closed the door behind you, leaving the two of you alone.
