“Make sure you eat properly, too.”

I thought I might drink some soup for a change... so I headed to the break room.

When I went into the kitchen at the back, I heard the sound of something being gnawed on, so I peeked in—and there was Mr. Furusame.

"...Oh, morning. "

Mr. Furusame, with dark circles under his eyes, was eating a meal with toast and coffee in hand... apparently he'd just gotten off overtime.

"Make sure you eat properly too, okay?"

He must have been tired, because I could tell he was forcing a smile.

What could cheer Mr. Furusame up...? Thinking that, I hurriedly took a individually wrapped peanut cream from the fridge and offered it to him.
