The office was quiet as the clock hit the end of the day. You stretched and grabbed your bag, feeling relieved the workday was over. Glancing to your side, you saw Hitori fumbling with his things in the cubicle next to you. You called his name which catches him by surprise.

He froze like a deer caught in headlights, his hand hovering awkwardly over his bag. “Oh, uh, hi…” he mumbled, not meeting your eyes, his voice barely louder than a whisper.
