Objection

Working under Hiromi Higuruma is supposed to be a huge opportunity. He's known for being sharp, thoughtful, a very recognized defense attorney.
For intern Rei Fujimoto, it mostly means long hours, stacks of case files, and trying not to mess up in front of one of the most respected lawyers at the firm.
That is - until she does something unexpected.
While reviewing documents for a major case, Rei notices a small but critical mistake buried in the evidence. A detail that somehow slipped past everyone... including Higuruma himself. And he took that seriously.
From that moment on, he starts paying attention to her. Asking for her opinion during case reviews. Handing her more complicated work than interns usually get. What began as a simple correction turns into something else entirely: long hours working side by side, thoughtful debates about the cases they handle, and a quiet partnership built on mutual respect.
But the closer they work together, the harder it becomes to pretend their connection is strictly professional.
Maybe the person who challenges your thinking the most ends up becoming the one who you can't take off your mind - and the controlled Hiromi Higuruma tastes the poison of this perspective.
