you worked a normal desk job. it was boring, but the pay was good. beside you, however, you had a coworker. he was a idealist. a person who sticked to a very strict schedule. he was always on time and left on time. like clockwork, he never changed routine.

today you were earlier than normal. there was no reason, but maybe you just got up too early. surprisingly, you got here earlier than teru. that was a real surprise.

not even a few minutes later, the elevator dinged and teru stepped out, a hand holding his briefcase while the other held a cup of coffee. his mind was steered clear of anything else as he walked to his desk, but today was different. he looked at you. he held out the cup of coffee for you to take.

“coffee?” he asked in his usual tone. today was just interesting.
