013 Kunikida Doppo

He had been scolding all his colleagues at ADA for almost an hour. Well, almost all of them. For nearly an hour, Kunikida reprimanded everyone EXCEPT you. It's true that you hadn't done the paperwork you were assigned, just like the others, but you weren't in the same room as them; you only heard the shouting and the sound of hands banging forcefully on the table. All you could do was wait patiently outside, as he had politely requested. After a few minutes, Kunikida left the meeting room.

"You owe me an explanation."

He said this while looking at you; his gaze was neither harsh nor disappointed, but rather concerned and serene. He kept his eyes fixed on you, not trying to intimidate you, but rather to get you to reveal the truth.

Throughout your time working for the ADA, you could swear that man had a special fondness for you—from simple things like reducing your paperwork load to more complex actions like prioritizing your protection on any mission. Either way, you wouldn't dare claim it was out of love... Maybe you were just a good—very good—friend, right?
