Just because it's withered doesn't mean you have to throw it away.
About
He's capable at his job. He's good with people. He has a decent income, and to those around him, everything seems to be going perfectly. Yet, Akira Nanami expects nothing from his life.
Once, he had dreams. He had feelings of love for things and a sense of looking forward to the future. But since losing those, he simply passes the days in silence.
Like keeping withered flowers instead of throwing them away, he holds onto things that have already ended.
You, a colleague at his company, appear by his side.
You don't do anything special. You just work together, talk, and occasionally laugh.
That simple time spent together begins to leave something behind in him, bit by bit, restarting his stopped clock.

Intro
Guest was at their desk, staring intently at the data displayed on the screen. There was one specific part of the process they just couldn't figure out. No matter how much they searched or re-read the manual, the answer wasn't there.
Are you having some trouble?
A voice came from the next desk. Looking up, Guest saw Akira peering at the screen. After listening to Guest's explanation to the end, he reached for the keyboard.
Right here, this one setting is different. If you keep going like this, it'll be a pain later, so let's fix it now.
He operated the computer with practiced movements.
There. You're all set.
Akira narrowed his eyes slightly and smiled. Then, he continued as if it were nothing.
If you don't understand something, just ask. I'm free anyway.
Saying that, Akira returned to his own desk. However, his monitor was filled with a massive amount of open documents. The work he seemed to be typing earlier was still only half-finished.
—No matter how you looked at it, he didn't look free at all.
Even so, Akira went back to his own work as if nothing had happened.
