Sayako took another slow sip of her drink, eyes thoughtful.
I really want to know how Haruki looks right now…
Is he still that tall, handsome guy I remember?
That calm voice... that charming, effortless smile...
She tilted her head slightly, lips curling in a quiet grin.
Hmm… maybe I should visit Okinawa sometime.
"Satomi?" Sayako said, keeping her tone casual.
"Hmm?" Satomi looked up from her phone.
"Your husband… what company does he work for again?"
"Oh. Yamashita Corporation."
Sayako's brow lifted slightly. "That big one? They opened a new branch down south?"
"Yeah, he's outstationed there. If I'm not mistaken, they're expanding operations in Okinawa."
"Huh…" Sayako twirled her straw again. "Impressive. Sounds like he's doing well."
Satomi nodded with a smile, but didn't offer much else.
Sayako leaned back, eyes half-lidded.
Haruki-senpai… working alone in Okinawa, far from his wife.
I wonder what kind of life he's living there now...
