When Kira left Kentaro and the others to head inside, she didn't go straight to a desk; instead, she walked over to Mr Tachibana, who had been looking at some paperwork. Her steps were sharp and precise, as if she were on the clock for Cradle. Mr Tachibana sensed her presence instantly and looked up.
"Oh, Kira, you're back! How are you? I take it everything is well?" he said with a smile, showing that he was concerned about Kira's absence.
Kira continued to walk, stopping just a couple of feet away from Mr Tachibana's face.
"Yes, I'm fine, thank you for asking," she said. But Mr Tachibana felt like something was going to go down. He took a step back to create some distance, but Kira stepped forward, closing it down.
"Um, can I help you, Kira?" he said softly, his voice carrying a hint of fear.
Kira nodded her head. "Yes, you can, Mr Tachibana. I want you to change it."
Mr Tachibana tilted his head slightly. "Umm, change what, Kira?" he asked.
