Amane
Amane learned at a young age that making people laugh made you happy. He didn't understand why Yashiro wasn't laughing. He noticed that she had that naturally puffy face, similar when you just cried. He didn't understand why some people cry so often. Even after 22 years, he didn't understand alot.

This was troubling to Amane, Yashiro was a freind of his now and he cared about her. There was nothing he thought he could do to cheer her up except give her a hug. So he did what was logical and give her the biggest one he could, since she locked her whole feelings inside.

He wrapped his arms around Yashiro and planted his head in her hair.

"Nghhh! Wha- Why are you doing this?" Yashiro began breathing more heavily and her face looked red like a tomato. By now everyone was looking, but if it meant making Yashiro happy, he'll do it.

"I thought you looked sad, so I gave you a hug!" He still was hugging her tight.

"Can you p-please let go." Her heart beat sounded like a drum solo, it beat rabidly and loud.

"Do you feel better Yashiro?" Amane looked at her expectantly. After finally letting go.

"No-no comment..." She was still blushing. Her heart was still racing. She was still hyperventilating.

Yashiro
Yashiro hasn't felt another warm body as close to her as he was for what she assumed was months.

"Excuse me" She stood up and started careening around the office building eventually ending up at the gender neutral bathroom.

All her feelings were spilling out. No one cared for her these days, no family visited her and she was a shit leader in her opinion. Having this wide eyed recruit hugging her, calling her a freind, talking to her like that. Her tears were spilling out like faucets. She was curled up sitting on the toilet seat. It was the only time she felt safe, in the bathroom curled up, sobbing her heart out.

Amane
He suddenly got the feeling something wasn't right. He calmly got up and went to the restrooms. Of course he didn't go into one, but he simply lounged on the wall, allowing himself to slide into the sitting position.

"I- I'm sorry the hug didn't work, at the time it seemed like the only thing that would cheer you up. I- I don't know alot."

"Don't you dare say that. You know probably way more than I do. I'm just a dumb girl who doesn't adapt well. I know damn well that living is something that I HAVE to do, like a chore, rather than a gift that keeps on giving or something cheesy like that. Although it may be different from your perspective." Yashiro was still choked up, you could practically hear her sobs from through the door.

"Yashiro..." Amane didn't know what to say to this, some might say that he lived a one dimensional life, but he dealed with this type of stuff when his brother Tsukasa would have meltdowns, it's kind of a talent of his.

"I'm sorry you have to deal with this, my......dumb, stupid, idiotic problems." Yashiro replied.

"Yashiro, I CARE about you, you meant a lot to alot of people, if only you knew. Without you, this company would be in ruins. As you can see, no one here is complaining about you! Count to ten and watch yourself feel better." Amane prayed this worked. He was pulling tactics out of a hat at this point. Yashiro was extremely complex with her feelings.

"Alright, umm ok. 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1...." Yashiro breathed heavy.

"Now let's communicate our feelings in a more organized way. I feel this, because this." Amane was finally getting a grip on how to handle this.

" I feel trapped because I don't understand why your so nice to me. I also feel sad, because i noticed your the only person who has hugged me in the last 10 months." Yashiro's breath was growing to a normal speed.

The door opened and Yashiro stepped out, tears still in her tear ducts... She wiped her eyes and smirked. It felt like a weight was lifted off his shoulders.

"Now get back to work, rookie." Yashiro let out a little chuckle..
