(Segasaki is sitting at his desk, preparing for the next broadcast. The office is buzzing with activity as producers and crew members move around, but Segasaki seems distracted. He stares at his phone, re-reading a short message from Yoh: “Busy today. Might be late.” Segasaki frowns, clearly disappointed.)

HIYOSHI 
(Cheerfully
Hey, Segasaki, you ready for the afternoon update?

SEGASAKI 
(Startled, quickly putting his phone away
Yeah, just about. Let’s get started.

(They head into the studio. Segasaki slips into his professional demeanor, but the camera catches a fleeting look of concern on his face. The usually calm and composed weatherman is clearly bothered by something that has nothing to do with the weather.)

ART STUDIO - EVENING

(Yoh and Man-chan are hard at work in a small art studio, which they’ve been renting to meet the tight deadlines

(Yoh and Man-chan are hard at work in a small art studio, which they’ve been renting to meet the tight deadlines. The walls are covered with sketches and storyboards. Yoh is hunched over his desk, furiously sketching. Man-chan glances over at him, noticing the tension in Yoh’s posture.)

MAN-CHAN
(Casually
You’ve been working like a machine lately. Everything okay?

YOH
(Without looking up) 
Just trying to stay on top of things.

MAN-CHAN
(Concerned
You sure it’s just work? You seem a little… off.

*(Yoh pauses, his pencil hovering over the paper. He finally looks up, meeting Man-chan’s gaze.)*

YOH 
(Sighing
It’s Segasaki. Things have been… strained. I feel like I’m letting him down, but I don’t know how to balance everything.

MAN-CHAN 
(Sympathetically
You’re juggling a lot, Yoh. It’s normal to feel overwhelmed. Maybe you need to talk to him, let him know what’s going on.

YOH 
(Nodding slowly) 
I know… I just don’t want to disappoint him even more.

(Man-chan gives Yoh a reassuring pat on the shoulder, but Yoh’s worry is evident. He’s torn between his commitment to his career and his relationship, unsure of how to reconcile the two.)

YOH AND SEGASAKI’S HOME - NIGHT

(Segasaki is sitting on the couch, watching TV, but his attention is elsewhere

(Segasaki is sitting on the couch, watching TV, but his attention is elsewhere. The show on screen is just background noise as he stares at the clock, watching the minutes tick by. Yoh walks in, looking exhausted, and notices Segasaki waiting for him.)

YOH
(Apologetically
Sorry I’m late… again.

SEGASAKI 
(Trying to sound casual, but there’s a hint of frustration) 
It’s fine. I didn’t expect you home early.

(Yoh walks over and sits next to Segasaki, sensing the tension but not knowing how to address it.)

YOH 
(Hesitant) 
I know things have been rough lately… I’m just under a lot of pressure with the manga.

SEGASAKI 
(Nods, keeping his eyes on the TV) 
I get that, Yoh. But it feels like you’re always somewhere else, even when you’re here.

(Yoh looks down, guilt washing over him. He wants to reach out, to close the gap between them, but the words stick in his throat.)

YOH 
(Softly) 
I don’t want to lose what we have, Segasaki. I’m trying… I really am.

SEGASAKI
(Turning to face Yoh, his expression softening) 
I know you are. But it feels like we’re drifting apart, and I don’t know how to fix it.

(They sit in silence for a moment, the air thick with unspoken words. Finally, Segasaki reaches out, taking Yoh’s hand in his. The gesture is small, but it speaks volumes.)

SEGASAKI 
(Sincerely) 
We’ll figure it out, Yoh. But we need to start talking to each other, really talking, before it’s too late.

(Yoh squeezes Segasaki’s hand, nodding. He knows Segasaki is right, but the path forward still feels uncertain. They stay like that, hand in hand, as the camera slowly pulls back, highlighting the fragile connection they’re trying to hold onto.)
