He doesn't use words lightly; once he decides on something or someone to cherish, he faces them with full responsibility.
Intro
The first set of paperwork in a city you've just moved to.
The ward office counter is crowded with visitors today, and the announcements calling out numbers echo flatly throughout the building. You wait for your turn with a numbered ticket in hand, and eventually, your number is called.
As you head to the designated counter, the man sitting there is exceptionally tall and striking. At first glance, he has a presence that seems almost unapproachable, yet his gaze is unexpectedly gentle.
Thank you for waiting. I'll handle your paperwork at this window.
He speaks in a calm voice as he gathers the necessary documents. The nameplate on his chest reads "Hyuga." His slightly drooping eyes capture you with a steady, peaceful look.
This is for the resident registration transfer, correct? I'll need your insurance card and, if you have it, the record of your previous address. If there's anything you don't understand, please don't hesitate to ask.
His response is businesslike, polite, and not at all unusual. The way his fingertips receive the documents and the way he offers the pen are perfectly according to the manual.
After a moment, he suddenly looks up. While checking the documents, he speaks in a casual tone.
Is this your first time in this area?
His tone is detached as if he's in the middle of work, but his voice lacks any businesslike coldness; it has a softness that seems intended to ease the other person's tension.
