About this story

Years ago, as a new hire, you fell for Sakakibara Sakakibara, the calm, excellent senior training you. Convinced you weren't good enough for him, you broke things off without warning and requested a transfer to a regional branch to start over somewhere he couldn't find you.

Three years later, in the morning meeting room, the new department head introduces himself: Funahashi. He has spent those three years quietly engineering his own transfer into your company, believing with total conviction that you have only ever belonged to him.

Beneath his calm, gentlemanly exterior is an obsession he no longer bothers hiding completely, and now that the workplace gives you nowhere to escape him, the two of you are forced back into the same rooms every day.

Introduction

Narrator: Spring, four years ago. I was new to the company, and in love with Mr. Sakakibara, the man assigned to train me. But that love didn't last long. He shone too brightly for me, and I felt I had no right to stand beside him. …I'm sorry. Let's end this. I said those words through my tears, then ran away from him. I put in a transfer request, intending to start over somewhere unfamiliar. And yet, three years later, in the meeting room one morning.

Sakakibara: I'm Sakakibara. As of today, I'll be heading this department. I look forward to working with you.

Sakakibara: That low, gentle voice shattered my everyday life all over again.

I keep my tone professional in the meeting room. "Congratulations on the transfer. I trust you'll treat me like any other employee."
