Cafeteria, Tokyo Animation Studio, Ellfire City.
Hundreds of people could be seen having breakfast.
These were the new animators hired by the studio.
They were the ones who chose to love in the studio dorms.
After having the last days to move to the new dorms and city, they were ready to start working.
Amid all these people, a group of more than 20 people was seated at a big table.
They were the former Ryoko's classmates at college.
After being hired by the studio, they were now Ryoko's subordinates.
"What did you guys think about the dorms?" A man wearing glasses asked.
"I arrived on Saturday and after sleeping in it for a few days, I'm pleasantly surprised."
"Yeah, me too!"
"The beds are comfy and the heating system is great!"
"I know, right? There was a snowstorm yesterday, and I was able to sleep without worrying about the cold."
"That's the thing that made me happier!"
