Nakano Eri pushed open the door to her office and saw Nanahara Takeshi standing in front of the window, gazing into the distance. The quick-service egg yolk rice ball on his desk was almost untouched. She adjusted her glasses and sighed, "Nanahara, don't worry too much. Providence watches over good people; Liuli will be fine."
She could understand the inability to eat; anyone whose girlfriend had been kidnapped probably wouldn't have much of an appetite either. But the more critical the situation, the more one should eat something. Otherwise, where would the strength to save her come from?
Nanahara Takeshi turned around, smiled without explaining that the rice ball was just too unappetizing, and asked with concern, "Any news?"
