Since when was filing part of a video game? Mogami sat sorting papers alphabetically. The job was unexpectedly interesting. Amongst the hydro and cleaning payment records were the invoices for Lory's shenanigans. Things like "camel" and "marching band" popped up regularly so the time in the filing room was passing quickly.

Yashiro informed Ren he was to meet the president in room M364. That wasn't a real room in LME but the layout of the videogame made it simple enough to find. When he entered, the door slammed behind him. He jiggled the lock. He was locked in! Ok, it was just a game. No need to panic. He decided to check out his environment. It was a filing room, with a little break room attached. Meeting my ass Ren thought to himself as he tried to understand why the game wanted him here. He started checking drawers but the papers were all blank; unnecessary details to the game. Frustrated he slammed a drawer shut.

Mogami heard a noise. It had startled her! She tentatively called out.

"Hello? Is someone there?"

That fucking president, Ren thought, cluing into the situation. Tempted as he was to let this play out as the porno that likely inspired the situation, Ren rightfully decided to play it safe. Her character was, after all, on its highest difficulty level.

"Mogami-san, is that you?"

Was that Tsuruga-san? What was he doing here? She purposefully gathered her stack of A-C papers and walked out of the break room, looking busy.

"Oh, hello Tsuruga-san," she said casually. She slipped a highlighter behind her ear. It promptly fell and she reflexively reached for it. The invoices flew everywhere. Talk about embarrassing. At least this wasn't real life. She bent to gather the papers as quickly as possible, head down to disguise her blushing. Her hand reached out and connected with something warm. She looked up, right into Ren's eyes. She had grabbed his hand. Her mouth opened and closed a few times before she snapped back to reality. Like, the virtual kind.

Ren stared down into Mogami's eyes. Her mouth distracted him. She wasn't running away which was good. He started leaning in… nope. He spoke to soon. She snapped her hand back to her side.

"Thank you," she mumbled, no longer looking at him. "Well! I'd best get back to work." She moved two feet to the left of where they were standing and opened a cabinet. The papers were out of order but this was a video game so screw it. She put the A's in the A's and the B's in the B's but didn't bother sorting it further.

A programing flaw, Ren noted. He opened a cabinet to look busy. The drawer was full of blank paper. Was he an actor or was he an actor? He looked at it a sheet purposefully and prepared to make his exit "attempt." [VL1]

"Mogami-san, do you have a key for this room?"

"No, why?"

"I believe we are locked in."

That couldn't be true! This stupid game! She tried the door. He was right. Oh dear. Her virtual little heart began to virtually race. She was in a filing room with the character she had selected as a love partner. This was dangerous! What would he do? No.

"Why don't you call sanitation to come unlock the door? I need to continue my filing." She still had 23 letters to kill time with.

Lory couldn't believe what he was watching. He logged out and went to his computer. He pressed a few buttons and a thirty second countdown began. He grabbed a snack from the fridge and settled in front of the screen to see what they would do.

Help! I'm looking for shoujo cliches Lory would likely program into a love video game. Please comment!
