Win-Wing-Production - Meeting Room

SakikoNext, regarding next week... Achoo!

UmiriOh?

SakikoPardon me.

UmiriDo you have a cold?

SakikoNo, I am fine. The air conditioner was blowing right on me, so I will move seats.

Umiri...

SakikoNow, about next week's practice... Achoo!

UmiriAre you sure you are all right?

SakikoPardon me again... I truly am fine. I make sure to take care of myself.

UmiriPlease wait here for a moment.

SakikoHuh...? Umiri?

SakikoWhere are you going...?

UmiriSorry to keep you waiting.

UmiriI got some things from the office to help prevent a cold.

SakikoAll of this?

UmiriFirst, gargle solution. Then, throat lozenges. Artists rely on their throats, after all.

UmiriAlso, hand sanitizer. Sanitizing is basic. And then...

SakikoThank you. I appreciate the thought, but... I truly am fine.

UmiriYou did sneeze twice.

SakikoIt was only for a moment... I have moved seats now, so I should be fine.

UmiriThen at least put on a mask. I should have a spare in my bag... Oh.

SakikoIs something the matter?

UmiriNo. I used to keep a mask with me, but... I ran into a bit of trouble, so I stopped carrying one.

SakikoAn issue?

UmiriYes... Back when Ave Mujica had just started, someone passing by said something to me.

SakikoWhat...?

UmiriThat I looked like Timoris.

SakikoI see...

UmiriThe mask almost caused a bit of a scene.

SakikoThat must have been difficult.

SakikoBut you were not wrong to make that choice. It shows you take your role as a professional seriously.

UmiriYes... But the mask is no longer part of Timoris' look. I should put my health first now.

UmiriI am going to the convenience store to buy masks now. Of course, I will get one for you too, Togawa-san.

SakikoHuh...?

SakikoUmiri, wait a moment.

UmiriWhile I am there, is there anything you would like? Hot black tea, perhaps?

SakikoThen... yes, please.

UmiriDarjeeling, right? If they have your usual brand, I will get that.

SakikoAll I did was sneeze... and somehow this turned into quite a big deal.
