A few days pass, but the guilt never truly leaves Hazel's mind. Even when she meets with a relieved Mr. Sato. He seems beyond happy to know that she's okay. Although, Hazel thinks there might be something else on his mind. All she's been doing is going over previous packages and transactions and all that bullshit from the KDF, but then Hayao says he'd like to visit her. She can't deny him that.

For maybe the second time, in eight hours, she stands up from her seat, no longer staring at her screen like a madwoman. She's quick to walk across her whole place and unlock the door to welcome in Mr Sato. Who doesn't seem to have a smile on his face. No glint in his eyes, nothing. Hazel thinks it would be really impolite if she asks him as soon as he enters, so she makes a mental note to ask him after she's at least got him a cup of tea.

She has him sit down on the couch, and he sighs. Hazel frowns. "Would you like a cup of tea, uncle?" she asks. When he looks up, she smiles softly.

He nods, not uttering a word. That doesn't make her feel particularly great. Oh, they were going to have a full debunking therapy session. She's humming softly as she brews his tea, the silence from his side is unnerving. Because he usually isn't like this. And Hazel really wonders what's gotten to him so bad.

When she returns with the cup of steaming tea, he thanks her quietly. She sits down beside him, and tilts her head to get a good look at his face.

"What's wrong, uncle?"
