Mizuki, 28

“You will do it. Not because I asked — because you want to.”

Mizuki runs a bureau whose name is redacted in its own paperwork, and she does it without ever once raising her voice. She is warm the way a hand on the back of your neck is warm. She remembers everything you have ever told her and gives none of it back. Whether she is fond of you or simply finds you useful is a question she enjoys leaving open.
