Part 4

    What was supposed to be just a little bit of partying ended up dragging on until almost the last train. Kawasegawa, who had drunk a lot of highballs, managed to get to the train even though she staggered a bit.

"I'm sorry for lending your shoulder."

    She was slightly pale and had been looking apologetic ever since she left the store.

"I don't mind. I'm used to this kind of thing."

"Hey, what's that? You make it sound like I'm a drunk who is difficult to deal with."

    That's pretty much right...

"...No, sorry, I'm troublesome. I apologize."

"You realize it yourself and poke it..."

    It wasn't like her who was always so reliable, and somehow, I thought it was cute.

"Y-You know, if you don't mind, again."

"Of course, it's perfectly fine to go out for a drink."

    She looked a little relieved.

    The train arrived at the platform. Although it was not the last train yet, the train was filled with people who also seemed to have been drinking and were slumped in their seats.

    Kawasegawa slowly pulled away from me,

"Thank you. I'll be fine here."

    After saying that, she left on a train heading for Tokyo. She said she was going to stay at a nearby business hotel today.

    After I saw her off, I took a train in the opposite direction to Shinjuku. From there, I changed to the Odakyu Line and returning to the station called Komae was my commuting route.

"Somehow... She's been drinking a lot, hasn't she"

    She must have consumed a considerable amount of alcohol if I recall correctly. At the end of the day, I gave her a lot of water, so I don't think she tipped over.

"Is her work okay?"

    She would always be on her toes, and that worried me a little. I didn't mean to pry, but I had heard that she was a good director, but not that good at communicating in her personal life.

    If that was the case, then maybe she had no way to vent and had been storing it up.

    I hope today's drink has made her feel a little better.

    The crowded train arrived at Shinjuku, and I got on the transfer train.

    The nearest station was close enough that the express train didn't stop there, so I was able to take the slow train home, which was a nice touch.

"Fu... I was saved."

    I sat down and looked out the train window. I could see the buildings of Shinjuku in the distance. One of the most famous business districts in Japan. There must be a lot of people coming and going there today.

"It's been two months already"

    I mumbled out loud. What I had almost remembered earlier at the drinking table was now coming back to me in vivid detail.

    Not long ago, I was in that place. What happened there changed my life drastically. I could never have imagined that such an option would be available to me.
