After catching a taxi to LME, she entered the agency and greeted everyone with a lady's smile. Making her way to the Love Me room, she caught sight of her dear friend Kanae. Eyes brightening and smile widening, she quickened her pace just a tad and waited for Kanae to join her at the Love Me door.
"Moko-san! Good morning! Is today not just wonderful?"
"I guess tod-day," Kanae stumbled as she was once again confused by her friend. Rather than question this reasonable greeting, she went along with it as she herself was running late. Vowing to question her during lunch she, feeling bereft, pulled Kyoko in for a quick hug.

Kyoko was standing before him with a warmth in her eyes that he couldn't see unless he was playing Cain. Hoping that she hadn't reverted to Setsu, he greeted her, his heart beating faster as she smiled in return and a blush gracing her cheeks. Her gaze firmly on his, she returned his greeting with more confidence than she usually did. When he could finally tear his gaze from hers, he let his eyes wander. They didn't get far. Shock, hope and happiness warred within him as he saw what graced her neck.
