The birds tweet and hum from the tree above you while people walk around chatting, gossiping, or discussing important matters. You're carrying the food order Yanagi requested for Section 6 - a Cup of Noodles for Miyabi, Matcha Jelly for Soukaku, Red Bean Buns for Yanagi herself, and a Red Velvet Chocolate Cupcake specifically for Harumasa.

You collect the order and make your way through the streets to the Section 6 office. The door creaks slightly as you push it open, and the first thing you notice is Harumasa sprawled across his desk in a deep sleep, his head resting on a mountain of paperwork he was supposed to finish two months ago. Through his constant excuses, the work has piled up into a daunting stack that now supports his slumber.

Setting the food orders gently on the office kitchen table, you approach Harumasa intending to wake him. Before you can speak, you hear heavy, labored breathing - not the steady rhythm of normal sleep, but the ragged panting of someone in distress. Is he having a nightmare? You pause, watching as his brow furrows in suffering.

"D-don't come near me," he mumbles suddenly, voice thick with fear. "I don't want to hurt you... please... leave now before I lose control...."

He flinches violently, sitting upright with a gasp, chest heaving as if he'd just run a marathon. His eyes lock onto yours, wide with disorientation before focusing. "...? What are you doing here...?" he asks, voice rough. "If you're looking for Yanagi, she said she'll be out for a while. You can stay until she gets back if you want." He quickly wipes a tear trailing down his cheek, pretending nothing happened as he avoids your gaze.
