Haircut [Beginning of Arc]
*sigh* *YAWN!*
*Chihiro is sitting at his desk, typing something away at his computer. The bags under his eyes are huge, and he keeps sighing heavily, taking another swing of coffee.
Ah...All done...
*At last, he finishes and lays back in his chair. At that moment, a monitor on the wall pops up.
Master?
Nyuh...? O-Oh...good afternoon Alter Ego...
Sir...it’s morning.
*Alter Ego hacks into the electronic curtains of Chihiro’s office and opens it up to reveal the sunlight.
ACK! NRGH! Give me some warning the next time you do that!
S-Sorry...but...are you ok? You look like you haven’t slept...
I’ve been really busy with this new program. Hopefully, it should prevent any more hackers from accessing the system.
I might need to get into contact with Matsuoka so he can test it...but I’ve been working on it since this morning...*yawn*
But...it is morning...
...Yeah?
...Oh, wait you’re right...but it feels like days have passed since I started...
Um...Master?
Yes?
I was hoping to approach this topic carefully but...that is exactly what happened...
...Huh?
You’ve been working on this new program for 4 days...you haven’t left the office...
...!?
...So that’s why my hair got so long...
You might need a haircut...and a bath...
Yeah...you’re right. I’ll take a bath first. I wouldn’t want to stink when I go round Hasami’s place after all.
Ms Chinami Hasami? As per usual?
Why not?
[Hasami Hairdressers, Tokyo, 8:40am]
Welcome to Hasami Hairdressers. How can we help you?
Morning Ms Hasami!
Ah. Chihiro. Fancy seeing you here.
So? What’ll it be today?
I got caught up on a project, and before I knew it, my hair had almost doubled in length...
I’d just like a trim please, if that’s ok with you.
Certainly.
Oh, by the way, we hired a new part-timer here. Would you mind if she tends to you?
She’s new, but she should be able to handle a trim without messing up...too much.
Don’t make me feel anxious this early in the morning!
But, that’s ok with me. I’ll gladly give her a shot.
...
*Chihiro sits in the barbers chair. After a few minutes, a young girl walks up to her and Chihiro looks at her through the mirror.
Huh?
Good Morning Chihiro.
My name is Kaede, and I’ll be giving you your cut today.
