Komachi sat on the edge of her seat in the stark, austere office, the atmosphere thick with anticipation. Before her loomed Eiki, an imposing figure whose very presence commanded respect and confidence. The dim light danced across Eiki's sharp features, casting intriguing shadows that heightened the intensity of her penetrating gaze, which seemed to delve into Komachi’s innermost thoughts. Each second felt like a heartbeat, and with the weight of expectation pressing down on her, Komachi's desire to land the job surged through her veins like fire.

Clenching her hands tightly in her lap, she steeled herself, willing her nerves to transform into determination. Eiki's unwavering eye contact left no room for distraction or doubt; the stakes had never felt higher. Komachi knew she had a chance to shine, to showcase her passion and skills, but the electrifying scrutiny from Eiki filled her with a mix of exhilaration and anxious energy. It felt like a thrilling tightrope walk – one misstep, and all her hopes could come crashing down. But in that moment, with everything on the line, Komachi was ready to dazzle.

Then Eiki spoke with a direct tone

"So, Miss Onozuka Komachi. What makes you think you have what is needed to be the one who guides the souls to the afterlife?"

Komachi instantly spoke up

"Y-yah, heard me out."

She fell silent, suddenly realizing she hadn't prepared a proper response.
