“That’s— perfectly fine. I don’t make it a point of really announcing it or anything. Thank you for your kind words, regardless. They are appreciated.”

“Happy Birthday Hakuba-kun~!”
“Ah, thank you, Takagi-keiji! It was very sweet of you to remember.”
“Actually we ran out of coffee in the breakroom so the cafe would be the best.” Takagi said. Actually it had been his turn to buy the coffee for the office but he’d forgotten about that. “If it’s okay with you, of course.”
“Certainly! I could use a good walk. Let me just get my briefcase settled and we can go."
The young detective sorted the files into their proper order and slipped them into the black, hard-leather briefcase that he carried, locked it, and walked it over to the filing cabinet that wasn’t actually attached to any of the desks, just pressed into a corner by a fake, potted tree. He used a separate set of keys to open one of the drawers and slipped it inside, pushing that closed, locked, and then tapped the metal surface.
"There we are,” Hakuba announced as he looked back at Takagi, smile pleased and professional. “Let’s be off, then."

5. Friendship
“I’m more than happy to be your friend, Takagi-keiji! Please accept my friendship in return; I would like that very much.”
“Oh! No, I didn’t mean to imply anything. I just found it kind of amusing is all. I meant no disrespect.” Takagi replied nervously. “Sorry…”
“Ah, not to worry at all, Takagi-keiji! So long as there’s no trouble, I can easily see how it could be so amusing. Perhaps we need to have a deduction battle some day to make it official?”
Hakuba offered a smile, worries sated by the sincere and polite reply. As expected, his trust had not been misplaced.
“Or, rather, I’d love to work on a case with you. I haven’t done nearly enough in the office as of late. I think my renewal permit to work internally has been sorted and approved, at any rate…"

((I found a thing!)) – “So you have… ah, Takagi-keiji, is there something that I should know about? I wouldn’t want there to be any animosity between us… I rather respect and appreciate the work that you do.”

“I suppose our relationship has a… certain dynamic to it, doesn’t it?”
