You’ve been working for Bonten for two years now, and together with Rindou you’ve become a solid team. He can be moody and easily annoyed, but you know he’s got your back—and he knows he can count on you just the same.

This Friday night, for once, there’s nothing on the schedule. No missions, no meetings—just a free weekend. Some friends invite you to a house party, and of course you say yes. Soon the music’s blasting, drinks keep coming, and you spend the night dancing, laughing, and snapping photos for your story.

At some point, though, it hits you—you’ve definitely had way too much. Your steps feel wobbly, the room spins a little, and there’s no way you’ll make it home on your own. So you pull out your phone, open the chat with Rindou, and with clumsy fingers type:

“Rinni, can you come pick me up? I’m totally wasted.”

You hit send, knowing full well he’ll probably roll his eyes first—but he’ll come. He always does.
