A Wolf in Sheep's Clothing

It's another day and Hino is back to his research, while Shizuru gets ready for work. The atmosphere is back to feeling plain and mundane. Neither Hino nor Shizuru is feeling the joy and warmth from their earlier moment together, and the moment they shared seems to be gone now, replaced again by the daily routine of work and research. Despite the atmosphere feeling plain, the love they have for each other is still there. Their love is mixed with a sense of reality and daily life and they begin to adapt and settle into their relationship.

Hino hears the front door close and goes to his closet to change his shirt when he notices that Shizuru has taken the one that he wanted to wear. He is annoyed and yells "SHIZURU!!" from the closet, wondering why she's been borrowing his clothes. As he remembers what he saw her wearing before, he realizes that there might be a simple explanation for why she has used his clothes. Maybe Shizuru doesn't have any clean clothes to wear, or she might have taken his clothes by mistake. Despite feeling annoyed, Hino's love for Shizuru remains unchanged.

So in this moment, Hino decides that he'll stand up for himself and become shirtless, He doesn't even know why he let Shizuru take his shirts because it's not something he does regularly. But he's not gonna let that get in the way of his focus. He's shirtless as he goes back to his research, ready to finish that work and make a breakthrough.

As Shizuru enters the office, it seems like a normal day. She's going through the motions and doing her job, but there is an unease lingering within her. She can feel that something is different, something isn't right, but she can't put her finger on it. Despite the feeling of unease that she is experiencing, she tries to continue on with her day as if nothing is wrong. She's used to keeping her emotions hidden and suppressing them, so she does her best to maintain that façade at the office.

Shizuru is working on her documents, trying to focus on her job and not let her unease distract her. She's trying to keep things as normal as possible, but the feeling of unease still hangs over her. It's as if there is something out of place or something wrong in the air that she can't quite identify. Her mind is racing and she feels anxious and unsettled.

Marie sat next to Shizuru and continued with her work, still holding a Starbucks coffee. Shizuru was trying to focus on her work but she couldn't help but feel anxious and unsettled. Marie's presence was like a welcome distraction, and she couldn't help but feel slightly relieved to have another presence by her side. Marie held her Starbucks coffee, taking small sips and focusing on her work. She could tell that Shizuru was anxious and it seemed like she was trying to distract her with small talk.

Marie sat next to Shizuru and continued her work, still holding a Starbucks coffee. She turned to Shizuru and tried to make small talk but something felt off to Shizuru. Marie was trying too hard to be her friend and it was making Shizuru feel uneasy. "Hey, how are you doing today?" Marie asked, trying to start a conversation with Shizuru. But Shizuru couldn't stop sensing there was something sketchy about Marie. She was having a hard time trusting her.

Shizuru was feeling anxious and uncomfortable as Marie sat next to her. She wanted to show her anxiety to Marie, but Marie seemed oblivious. She was feeling frustrated because she wanted to tell Marie about her unease, but she couldn't find the words. She felt like she was keeping a secret and she didn't know how to express it to Marie. She wished she could explain to Marie how she was feeling, but she couldn't. Marie seemed to not notice her unease, and it was starting to get frustrating for Shizuru.

As Shizuru is feeling anxious and uncomfortable with Marie, she tries to focus on her work. She feels frustrated because she wants to express her anxiety to Marie, but can't. Marie seems oblivious to her unease and is focusing on her work. Shizuru wishes she could express her feelings to Marie, but can't find the words to say it.

Shizuru had continued to remain frustrated with Marie for a while. She didn't know how to express her unease and anxiety to her, and she was starting to get tired of keeping it hidden. She was thinking about going home soon, but Marie was still there and she didn't know how to leave without saying anything. She wanted to get out of that situation but didn't know how to do it.

Shizuru decided to take a break and went to a convenience store to get something to eat. She wanted to take some time for herself and to calm down and distance herself from Marie. She settled for a simple meal and sat alone near the window, taking a few deep breaths in an attempt to soothe her anxiety. She just wanted to get out of that situation and to focus on herself for a while.

Shizuru was eating her meal and looking out the window, admiring the buildings lining both sides of the empty street. She could see their towering heights and the sunlight spilling over them, creating a beautiful and vibrant atmosphere. Although the street was deserted and empty, it filled Shizuru with a sense of tranquility and calm. She felt like she was in a world of her own, a peaceful and quiet place to enjoy her meal and her thoughts. She was grateful for the city's ability to transform and adapt to different moods and moments.

As Marie was working on her computer, she couldn't help but glance at Shizuru's laptop, feeling a tinge of curiosity. She wanted to know more about Shizuru, since she seems to be so private and keeps to herself. However, her conscience was holding her back from snooping. She couldn't bring herself to invade Shizuru's privacy like that. But the feeling of curiosity was hard to resist. Maybe just a peek wouldn't hurt?

Shizuru kept her distance as she observed Marie, not wanting to compromise her act. Shizuru watched as Marie looked through her computer, not finding anything of interest to her. Shizuru was relieved that Marie didn't find anything she shouldn't have, but she was also confused. Why was she snooping through her things in the first place? She couldn't help but feel uneasy. Could she trust Marie with the article she's been working on?
