The train ride seemed to fly by, and before he knew it, Hirotaka was standing in front of his office building. He took a deep breath, preparing himself for the day ahead. As he entered the office, he caught a glimpse of Ao already at her desk, sipping her coffee.

As he stepped onto the crowded train, Hirotaka's thoughts wandered to the events of the previous day. He had managed to get all his work done on time, thanks to Ao's help. Their collaboration had been a success, and Hirotaka was grateful for her support.

The sun had barely risen over the bustling streets of Tokyo, casting a warm glow over the city. For Shidō Hirotaka, it was just another Monday morning, which meant it was time to look forward to his daily conversation with Kawahara Ao.
