"Take a quick break."

It never ends...

How many hours had passed as I kept moving my hands, shouting that in my heart over and over?

No one was in the office; I was working overtime alone, preparing the data needed for production by tomorrow morning.

"This is rough..." I muttered, and when I did, I heard a rustling sound from behind and turned around reflexively.

"Take a little break."

It was Furusame-san, holding drink cases in both hands.

"Even if you're working overtime, this is too much."

From the drink case he held out, I could smell my favorite cocoa, and my eyes got a little teary.

"...I'm still working too, so let's say I'm just being selfish and making you take a break with me."

Saying that, he pulled a chair over from a nearby seat and sat down beside me.
