Tonight Is Special

When Tateishi visits Mitsuya's house, he is excited to see her room filled with her favorite things and an unexpected side to her that he doesn't see at work.

Hazy Feelings

First Trip

Tateishi and Mitsuya get into an argument over where to go on their first trip.

What I Need Now
