By the airport located in Tokyo, a gray-haired man walked as he arrived to the country by the afternoon. Not only his hair is gray, but he's also wearing a gray business suit. He is about to fulfill some business in the country. Suddenly, he ended up bumping into a man with a mop-top haircut. Their respective briefcases got dropped as a result.
"I'm sorry for bumping into you," he stated his apology.
"Apology accepted, mister," the other man accepted it with a smile.
They successfully got their correct briefcases, and the man continued his way through the country.

Meanwhile, Yoriko Kosaka is doing her usual job of being a waitress in a bakery called 'Oasis' by the 20th Ward.
"May I help you, sir?" she greeted a costumer as she led him through a table.
"Yeah, can I get chocolate bread and coffee?" he ordered.
"Sure thing."
With those things listed in paper, she started cooking a batch of chocolate bread in the kitchen. Of course, she wouldn't forget about the coffee. As much as she doesn't drink much coffee, she manages to make a good job at making it due to her knack for cooking. She delivered the order to her customer.
"Thank you," the man offered his thanks.
"No problem," Yoriko smiled.
"Yoriko, may I see you in my office?" a handsome man requested and he's the manager of the place.
"What is it you want to see me for, sir?" the blonde-haired girl asked as she takes her seat.
"For tonight, I got a request for you to do a special job for this Christmas," was the reply.
"Me? A special job for this Christmas Eve? Really?" Yoriko looked surprised by this as she didn't expect to get a special job during the holiday.
"I want you to make five deliveries for the night. That should keep the Christmas spirit within you always shining bright," the man explained with his fingers together. "What do you say?"
"Well..." the girl thought on the offer. She could easily give that job to someone else, but she doesn't have anything to do for the holiday by tomorrow. "Okay, I'll take it."
"Good, you'll meet a man with gray hair by 6 PM, and he'll tell you where you go to make you deliveries."
Yoriko leaves the office with a happy expression, but switches to a sad expression. She felt empty so that's why she took the job. In fact, she misses her best friend, Touka Kirishima. She wanted to see her now that she knows she's a Ghoul.
If only she knows where her location is in Tokyo...
