It was funny. Despite everything, I couldn't keep myself from smiling. All day, even as I was given mountains of work to complete, a smile never left my face. My cheeks hurt more and more with each second, but I didn't care in the slightest. I was just so happy.
I wondered if Mr. Kujo was excited about my going to his apartment. It was doubtful, but the thought of him feeling such a way toward me made my smile even wider.
"What's with you lately?" Sasaki asked as she plopped down in the empty chair beside me.
I hummed in wonder, stretching out my arms slowly. "Who knows?" I responded. "I can't stop smiling; it hurts so much."
She reached for my face and, before I could do anything, squished my cheeks together. I stared at her in stock for a moment before pushing her hands away with a laugh.
"Hey." She suddenly lowered her voice, her playful expression disappearing. "Have you heard about Mr. Tsukishima?"
My heart skipped a beat at the sound of his name. Did something happen? Did people hear about that night? I slowly shook my head.
"I heard a rumor," She whispered, leaning in closer, "that he raped someone in our department."
My eyes widened. "Where did you hear that?"
She shrugged, leaning back in her chair. "Who knows where it came from. But I also heard it happened at that bar we frequent. Can you believe that?"
I gulped. Although the rumor wasn't exactly the truth, it meant that someone had seen me there.
I didn't want anyone to know about the prior night. Not even Sasaki. I didn't want anyone to know about what he did. Definitely not Sasaki. I had a feeling that she'd get herself into trouble if she knew. She would get herself hurt. I couldn't let that happen.
"Sorry, Sasaki." I smiled apologetically. "I have a lot of work to get done. Could we talk tomorrow morning?"
She frowned. "You know we can't. I've got to visit the lab early tomorrow. I won't see you until lunch."
I sighed. "Alright. I'll see you then."
She looked at me for a moment, seeming concerned. Then she left.

Work kept piling and piling more and more as the day went on. I knew I wouldn't finish it all before work ended. I would need to stay longer than expected.
"Should I tell Jotaro?" I asked myself. "Hah... He'll just be frustrated. I'll finish it all before ten."
I worked efficiently until nine. It was tiring, of course, and I found myself closing my eyes more often than I should've. However, a sudden loud closing of a door behind me snapped me awake.
I turned around quickly, my pounding heart the only noise in the room. After a moment of silence, I could feel eyes piercing the back of my head. Was it Jotaro? No. I couldn't smell him. Was it Sasaki? No. The intent of the eyes was too strong. Too... murderous. I shuddered at the feeling. I knew someone was there. They were angry, fuming with rage. But why?
My voice trembled as I spoke, but I tried my best to gain control over myself. I needed to sound confident. I wasn't frightened. I couldn't be frightened. "Who's there?" I asked, my voice echoing throughout the seemingly empty office. There was no response, so I stood from my seat. "Come out, now! I won't hesitate to call the police! Who's there?"
Suddenly, footsteps sounded and neared me quickly from my right. I jumped from the sudden noise and turned in the mysterious person's direction.
A deep, grumbling voice roared around me. "You've ruined me!" I recognized it immediately, and I shuddered at the sharp, pungent smell that filled the room. Mr. Tsukishima.
"U-Um..." I stuttered, my eyes wide and filled with small tears. Just the presence of an Alpha was this threatening. Could I do anything to stop this encounter? What could I do?
"I've lost everything thanks to you!" He yelled. "Couldn't you just keep quiet! Couldn't you just live with it?! Couldn't you just listen?!" I shook my head, a whimper almost escaping out of fear as he drew closer.
"Mr. Tsukishima, I didn't mean anything by... what had happened. It wasn't me! I didn't... I don't know what to do!" I cried. I didn't know what was going on. Hadn't he done this to himself? Hadn't this all been his own fault?
"Mr. Tsukishima!" I shouted, standing tall as I had while addressing Yuuji. "I will not allow you to meddle in our lives any further!" That's right, I just had to say it clearly. "Those were not but your own mistakes, Sir. I think you should reflect on your actions and come back here when you've realized your wrong-doings."I finally saw his face then. He was... broken. Nothing seemed to look as it had the day before. He was bruised, swollen, and dried blood scattered on each feature. I looked at him, horrified. Had Jotaro done this?
"Are you five?" He asked rhetorically. "Reflecting on my actions? You sound like a delusional school teacher." He chuckled at his own words. Or perhaps at me.
"S-Still, I don't think it will end well for you if you do anything to me," I quietly said. He towered over me menacingly as I shrunk below him. What was I supposed to do now? "J-Jotaro will be here any moment to pick me up. He'll-"
"What else could he do to me?!" He shouted. "He's taken my job, beaten me until I couldn't stand, and humiliated me in front of my family. What else could he do?! I have nothing left!"
So it was true- the saying I'd heard long ago. A man who has lost everything will stop at nothing, for he has no more to lose. A man with no more to lose has nothing to be afraid of. He had no weaknesses. He had already been pushed to the edge. Mr. Tsukishima would stop at nothing but death to get revenge, I assumed. It terrified me.
I almost felt sympathetic toward him if it weren't for my own fright. I was so greatly frightened. When would Jotaro be there to save me once again? When would he come and take me away from the enemy as he did just the night before?
Everything suddenly came to me. Everything that had happened within the past month. It was all so hard to bear. I would break if it weren't for my frozen figure. If I could move, I would've cried.
