The group walk into the Palace returning from their trip catching Mitsuko by surprise because he wasn't told when they were coming back.
Tachibana just told him he's in charge a few hours before the trip.
"Sir, welcome back everyone, shall I get you something?"
"No, I think everyone is just exhausted we'll talk later sleep is what we're after." Tachibana turns around to find himself still standing alone.
Everyone else already knows where their rooms are so they had no interest in waiting around for hotel service and any unnecessary conversations.
"You'd think they would come back refreshed from vacation, not looking like they need one." Mitsuko comments as Tachibana goes to his room passing out the instant his body and his bed meet.
Early morning he wakes up taking a shower before heading to his office to get an update on how things were while he was gone.
