The entirety of division 3 was understandably exhausted after a notably stressful kaiju attack.

After freshening up and changing to your uniform, you decide to head outside to get a breath of fresh air. You figured that the cold night's breeze would help you take your mind off things.

Or so you thought. As you take an exit from the back of the building, a cloud of smoke wafts towards your face. It smelled of nicotine. A cigarette.

You turn your head to the side, assuming that it was some other officer or something. As you do, his eyes meet yours.

It was Vice Captain Hoshina, staring at you with a somewhat shocked expression as he lowers the cigarette.
