I give him my best beaming grin, reaching out briefly to squeeze his hand, then stand and stretch, rolling one shoulder then the other, all my motions brisk.
"I won't be afraid with you taking care of me," I tell him, patting my chest over my heart. "Thank you. You're the dearest friend I have."
I cross to the cabinet standing beside the office's main desk, and open a small drawer, pulling out a small box with a combination lock holding it shut. I carry it back to him, offering it at extended arm's reach.
"Here, the spare key. I don't know the combination, but Satonaka-chan said that you would, since she copied it off of your personnel code."
I have to swallow, still grinning confidently at him. My eyes are mostly squinted shut, knowing he hasn't seen this punchline coming.
One of many he's faced today.
"I told you, I only locked myself in here, not you... Gotou-chan."
I promised myself no regrets. I won't regret this.
